As we wrap up this series of Law Firm Cybersecurity Tips, remember that we're always keeping an eye out and keeping you up-to-date on new threats to your law firm. For our final post in the series, we'll discuss a very dangerous threat to law firms.
A highly destructive — to information as well as physical security — threat is the Advanced Persistent Attack (APT).
These threats come in several different forms. They are stealthy and determined in their attempts to compromise data. They can be simple, such as a rogue administrator account hiding in an obscure organizational unit in your Active Directory (you are checking who has membership to domain administrative and enterprise administrators, right?), ranging to the better-known Trojan-horse attacks. Some of these viruses sit on your computer or server silently collecting your data for months.
The Stuxnet computer worm is a famous example. While this threat was originally intended to target Iran’s nuclear capabilities, hackers discovered the source code and re-engineered it to use against individuals and corporations.
