Spot the Phish – Could You Pass a Cybersecurity Test

5 minutes

πŸ’»πŸŸ Imagine a fake phishing email lands in your inbox. Would you spot it instantly?

 

We all like to think so, but one in three untrained employees fall for phishing scams (KnowBe4). And in law firms, where client data is gold, one wrong click could be costly.

 

Some firms are fighting back with real-time cyber drills. They send out simulated phishing emails to see who takes the bait. Others include cybersecurity training in legal education, ensuring lawyers know what to do before a breach happens.

 

At Yale, law students are even learning to hack so they can spot vulnerabilities before the criminals do. πŸ”Ž

 

With cyber threats on the rise, the best law firms treat cybersecurity as a core skill, not just an IT problem. Strong passwords and encryption matter, but so does a team that knows when something feels off.

 

The firms leading the way aren’t just protecting data – they’re building a culture where every lawyer is cyber-aware.
