ARISGATE SECURITY BRIEF · COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY
The threat landscape doesn't pause, even for a solo practice.
Six steps from daily SANS threat intelligence, sized for firms without a dedicated IT security team.

The SANS Internet Storm Center's daily Stormcast is a reminder that attackers don't care how many attorneys are on your letterhead, only what's on your network: trust account records, settlement details, medical and immigration files, all valuable regardless of firm size.

Florida Bar rules

Florida Bar rules require reasonable safeguards for client information, and consistency, not budget, is the real defense.

Six steps for this week

  1. Patch workstations, servers, and practice management software on a recurring schedule, not when convenient.
  2. Enable multi factor authentication on every remote access tool, not just email, and audit who still holds credentials from former employees.
  3. Treat email as the front door it is, with MFA and verbal confirmation for any changed payment instructions.
  4. Back up data properly and actually test the restoration.
  5. Build a basic inventory of every device and cloud account in use, since shadow IT creates risk you can't manage.
  6. Put a simple incident response plan in writing before you need one.
