Cybersecurity Awareness Training for Law Firm Employees

One of the most overlooked aspects of security is training for employees. Employees are involved in more than 80% of successful attacks. It has never been more critical for organizations to implement effective risk mitigation strategies, enhance security posture and protect information assets – which is hard to do without educating your employees.

The one-hour presentation includes recommendations for safe-computing behavior, education on spam, phishing, targeted malware attacks and what users can do to protect themselves and their law firm – and abide by their ethical duties – and there are some good stories along the way to make the lessons stick.

Topics at the training include:

• Social engineering
