iVision recently had the opportunity to discuss information technology security for law firms in 2021 with several iVision client firm CIOs and CISOs as part of a Legal Virtual CIO/CISO Forum. Unfortunately, law firms are frequently top targets for cyber criminals for a variety of reasons, including their public visibility, increased reliance on information technology, possession of highly-sensitive information and perceived financial resources. iVision client law firms are also leveraging a variety of IT security intelligence resources to evaluate the current and emerging threat landscape.
