Addressing the elephant in the room: learn how to protect your firm from the latest cyber threats.

Cybercrime is a major threat to all organisations regardless of size. In this webinar our strategic cyber risk management partner Mitigo will bring to life the latest attacks that are hitting firms and provide guidance on the steps to take in order to stay safe.

Mitigo is a Strategic Partner to the Law Society of Scotland, offering member firms a trusted cyber security solution which provides operational resilience, data security and compliance with legal and regulatory obligations. Mitigo also provides an emergency cyber incident response service.

This session will be hosted by Kerrie Machin from Mitigo. Kerrie has spent the last two decades helping businesses identify their exposure to risk. He believes that the challenges of cyber security, business resilience and legal & regulatory compliance, needn’t keep business leaders awake at night. It’s just a matter of matching the right solution to the problem. Mitigo’s experience in protecting law firms enables Kerrie to highlight common vulnerabilities and explain how to implement a proportionate risk management framework.
