The legal industry operates under a standing defined requirement to protect the integrity of its records and the confidentiality of its clients. The internet has revolutionized the
way organizations manage and exchange information, but this era of electronic documents has also produced new security concerns. Legal firms must also limit their own legal liability
arising from employees accessing the internet at work.
The legal industry must use tools for Internet access control to
safeguard confidential data from hackers both inside and outside the office walls. And 70 percent of IT professionals believe that peer-to-peer file sharing – a popular activity in
companies with broadband web access – creates an open door for external hackers. In fact, nearly 90 percent of U.S. businesses and government agencies suffered hacker attacks
in the last year, according to Newsbytes, while 80 percent of network security managers claim that their biggest security threat comes from their own employees, according to a
Gartner Information Security Conference survey.
