Recent reports from Beazley Branch Insights indicates an increase of more than 105 per cent in ransomware attacks on professional services firms in the first quarter of 2019. While attackers continue to focus on smaller firms, increasingly sophisticated attackers are also targeting larger organizations through phishing emails and tricking users into deploying banking Trojans.
Alberta's legal profession is not immune. ALIA has received numerous reports over the past several months of Alberta lawyers being targeted by ransomware, phishing and social engineering schemes. This has exposed both client funds and confidential information to loss.
ALIA has arranged for Beazley to host a free webinar on Cyber Risk for lawyers on Wednesday, Sept. 18, 11 a.m. MST. The webinar will cover key issues facing lawyers, including the most common types of risks lawyers are exposed to, real life examples of claims, overview of coverage available, and Beazley's enhancements to their coverage that they offer to ALIA's subscribers.
