Sensei Article Featured in VBA’s Vermont Bar Journal

Sensei’s article entitled “Cybersecurity Assessments for Law Firms: How Not to Screw Them Up” by Sharon Nelson, John Simek and Michael Maschke, was recently featured in the Vermont Bar Associations (VBA) quarterly journal “The Vermont Bar Journal” Spring 2024 edition.
Excerpt:
Should You Have a Cybersecurity Assessment Every Year?
Absolutely. A fair number of firms perform cybersecurity assessments twice a year. For most firms, we’ll settle for once a year. It is also true that most cyberinsurance companies will also settle for once-a-year assessments. The biggest firms may do it twice a year (or more), but most of you reading this are probably doing just fine with yearly assessments.
We have lived through 2023 – in which we saw more law firm breaches than ever before. And we saw (horrifyingly) a stream of class action lawsuits filed against breached law firms. So yes, we need to pay attention to cybersecurity assessments – not put them off or skip a year for budgetary reasons. While we often hear that budgets don’t allow for a cybersecurity assessment, if you get breached, your budget is going all to hell. Better to spend the money and avoid the breach.
