41: The Invisible Threat: Cybercrime and Your Law Firm with Dylan Evans


Listen Later

We’re delving into cybersecurity for solo and small law firms with guest Dylan Evans. The conversation explores the real-world threats of cybercrime that even smaller legal practices face, dispelling the myth that only large corporations are at risk. 

Dylan provides eye-opening insights into how cybercriminals operate as an industry, targeting law firms of all sizes due to the sensitive nature of client information they hold. He emphasizes that while achieving perfect security is impossible, firms can significantly reduce their risk by implementing some critical practices.

The episode covers:

  • Why law firms are particularly vulnerable targets for cybercrime
  • The principle of not needing to be "bulletproof" but more secure than other easy targets
  • The importance of identifying and protecting the most critical business processes
  • The value of outsourcing certain security functions
  • A practical recommendation for improving personal and business security
  • Lauren and Dylan discuss the challenges of staying up-to-date with rapidly changing cybersecurity best practices and the limitations of traditional "defensibility" approaches. The conversation aims to empower solo and small firm lawyers with actionable steps to enhance their cybersecurity, balancing the need for protection with the realities of running a small business.

    This episode provides a starting point for lawyers to think critically about their firm's cybersecurity practices and offers resources for further learning and implementation.
