Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way the world works. From diagnosing diseases and detecting fraud to writing articles and optimizing agricultural crops, the applications of AI are rapidly expanding across all sectors of society. Cybersecurity is no exception.

The transition to hybrid workplaces prompted law firms to embrace the cloud for the mobility and accessibility it provides. But as they contemplate a full transition to cloud-based technologies, some law firms are stubbornly clinging to the perception that the cloud is not as secure as on-premise solutions. This perception could not be further from the truth. In fact, the cloud provides superior cybersecurity.

Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is growing exponentially. Worldwide, the DaaS market is expected to swell from $4.9 billion in 2022 to $18.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 21% over the next decade, according to a 2023 report by Custom Market Insights. Companies of all sizes and across all industries are adopting DaaS solutions for multiple reasons, including enhanced flexibility and ease of use, superior security, lower capital expenditures, and instant scalability.  

When it comes to cybersecurity, a strong defense is the best offense. But with the threat landscape constantly evolving and cyber criminals becoming ever craftier, even the best-protected companies are vulnerable to a cyber attack. In addition to implementing multi-faceted protections to prevent a breach, having a detailed cyber breach response plan in the event of a cyber incident is crucial to securing your operations and minimizing the fallout. Cyber breach response plans are unique to each company and must be customized, but below are the main elements of an effective plan. 

Cyber breaches are alarmingly expensive, costing impacted organizations an average of $4.45 million, according to IBM. Depending on the type and scope of the cyber incident, expenses can range from lost revenues, operational downtime, and reputational damage to ransom payments, remediation costs, and legal fees. Below is a closer look at some of the major consequences of a cyber breach, and how to fortify your system against a potential attack.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, law firms must continually adapt and improve their technology to stay competitive. With the right practices in place, firms can reduce IT costs, enhance productivity, minimize potential problems, and deliver an exceptional end-user experience. Below we highlight six effective strategies that can help your firm achieve your IT goals.

Businesses rely more heavily on technology today – which means getting it right is more important than ever. You can’t afford ill-timed outages, costly cyber breaches, or inefficient processes if your firm wants to remain competitive and effectively serve your clients. Because IT has become increasingly complex and costly for small and midsize businesses to do on their own, many turn to Managed IT Service Providers (MSPs) to fulfill some or all of their technology needs. Thoroughly vetting a potential IT provider is an essential first step to ensure that your firm's needs are effectively met. Here are 6 key questions to ask MSPs before you commit to a partnership.

A security operations center (SOC) is a team of IT security experts whose sole focus is to proactively monitor your firm’s security, detect and analyze threats, and respond and remediate when necessary. To be effective, the team of highly-qualified experts must work 24x7x365 so that they can rapidly respond to any emerging threat. For the vast majority of small and midsize firms, it simply does not make financial sense to build this function in-house, yet with cyberattacks increasing in sophistication and volume, it is far too risky to ignore the need for a SOC. Many small and midsize firms choose to partner with a third-party IT security provider that offers Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) to ensure constant, proactive protection against cybersecurity threats.

When choosing IT solutions for your business, cost is certainly an important consideration.

An unreliable, inefficient, and insecure system that is ill-suited to the functionality of your business can send your bottom line into a downward spiral. Below are four ways that bad IT can be costly to your company.
