Cybersecurity and data threats are making headlines daily, particularly in the financial and professional services space. Law firms are responsible for handling a tremendous amount of private information for their clients. Ensuring your firm has a strong cybersecurity architecture is critical to mitigate risk and minimize disruption.
In the final episode of this series Scott Duda, Leader of Cherry Bekaert’s Professional Services Industry practice is joined by Dan Hulen, a former Director and Business Applications Leader in the Firm’s Digital Advisory practice, and Dan Sembler, a Director in our Risk & Accounting Advisory practice, who share their insights into the biggest IT security threats law firms are facing, and what you can do to protect your business.
