In today's fast-paced digital landscape, law firms must continually adapt and improve their technology to stay competitive. With the right practices in place, firms can reduce IT costs, enhance productivity, minimize potential problems, and deliver an exceptional end-user experience. Below we highlight six effective strategies that can help your firm achieve your IT goals.

Businesses rely more heavily on technology today – which means getting it right is more important than ever. You can’t afford ill-timed outages, costly cyber breaches, or inefficient processes if your firm wants to remain competitive and effectively serve your clients. Because IT has become increasingly complex and costly for small and midsize businesses to do on their own, many turn to Managed IT Service Providers (MSPs) to fulfill some or all of their technology needs. Thoroughly vetting a potential IT provider is an essential first step to ensure that your firm's needs are effectively met. Here are 6 key questions to ask MSPs before you commit to a partnership.

A security operations center (SOC) is a team of IT security experts whose sole focus is to proactively monitor your firm’s security, detect and analyze threats, and respond and remediate when necessary. To be effective, the team of highly-qualified experts must work 24x7x365 so that they can rapidly respond to any emerging threat. For the vast majority of small and midsize firms, it simply does not make financial sense to build this function in-house, yet with cyberattacks increasing in sophistication and volume, it is far too risky to ignore the need for a SOC. Many small and midsize firms choose to partner with a third-party IT security provider that offers Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) to ensure constant, proactive protection against cybersecurity threats.

When choosing IT solutions for your business, cost is certainly an important consideration. But in addition to comparing pricing of various IT products and services, it’s crucial to weigh the costs associated with having bad IT. An unreliable, inefficient, and insecure system that is ill-suited to the functionality of your business can send your bottom line into a downward spiral. Below are four ways that bad IT can be costly to your company.  

Law firms are responsible for a vast amount of client data and with the ever-increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, the cybersecurity of your firm has never been more crucial. Small to midsize firms typically do not have the resources to manage effective and up-to-date in-house cybersecurity. 

When small to midsize firms partner with a managed service provider (MSP), they outsource some or all of their IT, allowing the firm to focus on their own clients. MSPs offer expertise and state-of-the-art tools that provide superior cybersecurity. Here are some steps MSPs take to enhance your firm’s cybersecurity.

Since the inception of information technology, cybersecurity has come a long way. Unfortunately, cyberattacks have kept pace and malicious actors are constantly on the hunt for new targets. High-profile cyberattacks frequently occur across a variety of industries, proving that anyone can become a target. If 2022 taught us anything, it’s that no business or service is safe from becoming a target. Here are some of the biggest cyberattacks of 2022.

Cybersecurity breaches are consistently increasing in frequency, and businesses, especially those who handle sensitive information, need to be prepared. Virtually everyone employs safety measures such as firewalls and anti-virus software as the first line of defense. However, when a breach does occur, your business may incur financial losses and be liable for any damages to third parties. Cybersecurity insurance can protect your firm from the fallout of a data breach, mitigating losses and damages.

“Bring Your Own Device” or BYOD is a growing trend accelerated by the pandemic. According to a report by market research firm Technavio, the BYOD market is expected to grow by $69.07 billion, or 15.06% annually, from 2021 to 2026. BYOD offers potential benefits for both employers and employees, but it can open a pandora’s box of security concerns if the employer does not implement and enforce a strict BYOD policy. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is especially effective at helping employers manage their BYOD policy.
