If you run a law firm on Long Island—whether you’re in Garden City, Melville, Carle Place, Huntington, Riverhead, or Central Islip or another town in Nassau or Suffolk counties – there’s something you should know:
A cyber event doesn’t just disrupt your office. It can derail your clients’ lives, your reputation, and even put your license at risk.
As a trusted legal advisor, your firm holds some of the most sensitive data possible:
• Client identities
• Case files and court documents
• Confidential communications
• Escrow accounts and banking information
• Access credentials to court portals and legal software
Now more than ever, that data is under attack.
What’s Happening in the Cyber World (And Why It Affects You)
Recently, a known security vulnerability affected certain SonicWall firewall devices used by many businesses to enable remote access. While the issue is now well-documented and resolved, the real lesson for law firms isn’t just about this one product—it’s about being proactive.
Some law offices didn’t realize their systems were vulnerable until logins failed, files slowed down, or remote access stopped working. In many cases, outdated passwords or unpatched devices were the culprits – problems that could have been fixed quickly with the right IT partner.
This isn’t about fear. It’s about prevention.
Why Law Firms Need More Than Basic IT Support
You’re not just another small business. You have fiduciary duties, privacy laws, and client trust to protect. That means cybersecurity isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical.
That’s why you need to partner with a trusted, IT firm that helps you see what’s under the hood. You need experts who:
- Understand law firm operations
- Know how to protect document management systems, cloud storage, court portals, and billing platforms
- Can help ensure compliance with cyber insurance requirements
- Know how to respond quickly if something suspicious happens
