In mid-2019, we held our first online security summit bringing together legal, cybersecurity and IT professionals to discuss law firms' responsibility to manage cybersecurity, including risk management, potential future threats and steps firms should take to ensure the security of their firms' and clients' data.

Many law firms and businesses put off creating and using a standardized workstation image. Instead, they use whatever operating system comes pre-configured on the computers they purchase.
