In our earlier three articles on cybersecurity for law firms and their clients, we’ve taken a close look at the White House’s National Cybersecurity Strategy and its five pillars, how attorneys and their firms are arming themselves against breaches (or in many cases, aren’t) and the best practices for so doing.
