Above the Law recently featured the Sensei article entitled “Have Cyber Insurance? The Preferred Victims of Ransomware Attackers ” by Michael Maschke, Sharon Nelson, and John Simek. This article is the latest in a monthly series entitled Cybersecurity: Tips From the Trenches.
Excerpt:
Like most professional service firms, law firms continue to experience increased cybersecurity attacks, mostly phishing and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks, aimed at compromising and stealing payment information. Ransomware attackers, not to be left out, increasingly use phishing attacks as their primary attack vector and frequently target businesses with a cyber insurance policy. Why is that??
Typically, businesses with cyber insurance coverage must have a baseline of cybersecurity measures that insurance carriers require before offering coverage. These measures range from installing Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) software on all endpoints to requiring staff members to attend annual cybersecurity awareness training.
