A Smarter Approach to Vulnerability Management in Law Firms

Protect against evolving cyber threats

At Appurity, we know that our customers in the legal industry need to trust that their security infrastructures are robust, effectively protecting sensitive data – in line with compliance requirements – and working hard to protect against evolving cyber threats.

We also know that over the years, many firms have invested heavily in a multitude of security controls in an effort to strengthen their defences. When a new technology emerges that promises to secure client data or keep passwords protected, firms can be quick to implement them in the hope that it’ll provide critical peace-of-mind that they’re adequately protected against cyber threats.

However, managing all of these tools and technologies to address every possible vulnerability can be resource-intensive, impractical, and ineffective. Your firm needs to know exactly where its most critical and exploitable vulnerabilities are – and which of your current tools and technologies are working to remediate these gaps.
Our advice to customers is to validate their security control efficacy and enterprise readiness against the MITRE ATT&CK framework, a structured guide to understanding and countering adversarial tactics, by using the same tactics and techniques that bad actors do. By learning from these real-world attacks, firms can prioritise their defensive strategies, focusing on the most urgent vulnerabilities for optimal resource allocation and maximum protection.
Emulating real-world attacks in this way will also highlight the effectiveness of your security controls. Do they have the required capabilities to protect your critical data from real-world threats? Could you free up resources by investing and focusing solely on the controls that provide your required level of protection?
