Natwest cyber-threat report - Fujitsu comment

March 2017 by Rob Norris, VP Head of Enterprise

Rob Norris, VP Head of Enterprise & Cyber Security EMEIA at Fujitsu, coment on NatWest’s 2017 Legal Benchmark Report.

It found that one in four law firms has fallen victim to a cyber-attack or fraud within the last 12 months, with London legal eagles among those most at risk, figures out today reveal.

“It’s sad to see that law firms are falling victim to cyber-attacks so frequently, particularly since the data they hold could leave the clients they serve incredibly vulnerable to fraud. As the technical capabilities of cyber-criminals continue to outpace the UK’s ability to deal with cyber threats, it’s obvious that more needs to be done to protect organisations.

Attackers will always take the easiest route possible to breach a network and often seek to bypass perimeter controls via social engineering and phishing methods, so organisations must take the fight to cyber-criminals before they can act. Get on the front-foot, be proactive and get a layered defence in place that will enable real-time threat reporting and fast solutions before a threat becomes a compromise.

Key to this is the use of threat intelligence and other information sources. An example of this is understanding when vulnerability has been added to an exploit kit and having the knowledge of where those vulnerabilities exist on the network. Alongside this should sit a clear and well-rehearsed incident management plan, addressing internal and external communication in addition to containment and recovery activities.

As the sophistication and regularity of security attacks continue to increase, it has never been more important for organisations to put security at the very top of the boardroom agenda, regardless of industry or region.”
