SANS Stormcast July 24, 2026: A Remediation Guide for Florida Law Firms

The SANS Internet Storm Center's daily Stormcast tracks scanning activity and attacker behavior that hits small firms just as hard as large ones, often harder, since small firms typically lack dedicated security staff to catch problems early.

Florida Bar Rule 4-1.6

Florida law firms have an ethical obligation under Rule 4-1.6 to take reasonable cybersecurity measures, and falling behind is a malpractice risk, not just a technology one.

Six things that matter most this week

1. Patch on a schedule, not when convenient, since many Stormcast vulnerabilities are exploited within days of disclosure.
2. Require multi factor authentication on every email account and train staff to verify unusual payment requests by phone.
3. Test your backups at least twice a year, since an untested backup is a guess.
4. Limit administrative and file access to only who actually needs it.
5. Put a written incident response plan in place before an incident forces the question.
6. Ask your vendors what security certifications they hold and how they encrypt your data.
