Creating your Cyber Incident Response Plan
Join this CPD training online at the specified time
Join us in March for our ‘lunch and learn’ seminar designed to help legal professionals strengthen their cyber resilience for a potential breach.
Led by Calum Baird, Digital Forensics and Incident Response Consultant at Systal Technology Solutions, this session will guide you through the fundamentals of creating an effective Cyber Incident Response Plan (CIRP) to safeguard your firm. This session will also feature contributions from Nicholas Scullion, Managing Director of Scullion Law, who will share his first-hand experience of navigating a cyber breach that threatened to cripple his practice. Nicholas will share his personal experience of the attack, how they managed the crisis, and the key steps they had to take to emerge stronger.
Law firms around the world are a primary target for cyber criminals and no organisation is immune. 65% of UK legal firms have been a victim of a cyber incident, but despite the need to protect ourselves, 35% of firms do not have a cyber mitigation plan in place – leaving them vulnerable to financial, legal, and reputational risks.*
This session will provide practical tips to safeguard your firm, valuable insights based on lived experience, and lessons that can help enhance your firms cybersecurity resilience.
