The legal sector has seen a dramatic 77% increase in successful cyber attacks over the past year, with incidents rising from 538 in 2022/23 to 954 in 2023/24. This rise is largely due to the sensitive and valuable nature of the information that law firms hold, making them prime targets for cybercriminals.

It’s a fact that Law firms are a prime target for cybercriminals. The legal sector's reliance on trust and confidentiality means that a data breach not only compromises client information but also the firm's integrity and, consequently, its future. For law firms, reputation is everything.

Cyber security in the legal sector is not optional; it's a necessity. The legal sector handles a treasure trove of sensitive information, from personal client details to confidential case files. This makes legal firms a lucrative target for cybercriminals.
