Podcast: The Importance of Website Security for Law Firms

October 19, 2016

Our new Legal Talk Network Digital Detectives podcast tackles what was, for us, a brand new topic, the importance of website security for law firms. Our guest was Neill Feather, the President of SiteLock, a firm which specializes in website security.

Disclosure: SiteLock is a sponsor of Digital Detectives.

For many years, we have advised law firms not to host their own websites. Some years ago, one client decided to ignore our advice. The managing partner came to work one day to find that the law firm website home page said "F*** the U.S. Government!" Not precisely the best message for a law firm website!

One of the most significant digital assets a law firm has is its website – and yet, many firms do not think about the security of their website. Take a listen as Neill describes why people compromise websites, how they do it and how you can protect yourself.

Neill gave us quite an education – we knew some of what he told us, but much of what he talked about drilled down further than we had gone before and illuminated this subject in a very helpful way. This will be a very informative podcast for most law firms – and other entities as well.
