New cyber resources from ACSC

A series of six short videos that underlines the key aspects of cyber security in a legal practice setting.

Covers email compromise, verification of bank account details, warning clients about cyber risk, demystifying multifactor authentication, cyber awareness training and tips for staying vigilant, and preparing a plan to respond in the event of a cyber incident.

If you’re a practitioner that knows you should be doing more about cyber security but have been putting it off because it seems too technical or too much of a bother, this podcast is for you.

Topics discussed include:

• How and why cyber criminals choose their targets.
• Cyber awareness in law firms and the need for each of us to understand our personal responsibility to be cyber safe.
• Common barriers lawyers face that may prevent them from implementing basic cyber security measures and how to overcome them.
• Implementing multi-factor authentication, password managers and other steps you can take.

The guide outlines 5 key areas of focus and explains why each is important to be included in cybersafe strategies for law practices.

For each area the guide provides a checklist of practical steps to take to help secure any legal practice.
