Practice Tip<b>Get Smart and Be Protected: Common Security Mistakes and How to Avoid Them</b>
Despite the time, energy, and money that some large and small law offices funnel into products to maintain network security, their computer network's biggest threat is frequently from the uninformed computer users on the inside. A security program is only as strong as its weakest link, and that is where the human element comes into play.
Computers and Internet access are invaluable in the legal field, and although security software should be used in any office, attention should be focused on the potential threats that accompany the use of the technology. Even small legal offices or individual attorneys working out of their homes need to protect their computers and the sensitive information residing on them. Too many firms have already learned the hard way that security technology alone cannot completely secure a company network.
Being uninformed about security issues can expose computers and information to unnecessary risk that could have a direct impact on revenue, productivity and the costs of doing business. Although security tools such as antivirus software, personal firewalls and intrusion detection tools greatly reduce the security risks, any legal professional should be aware of common security mistakes and take measures to avoid them.
