A long-time law firm client partnered with Cubex Group to enhance their cybersecurity and protect sensitive data from emerging threats. By implementing the Cubex Group Security Solution (CGSS), the client fortified their systems with endpoint security, 24/7 monitoring, and threat detection, empowering them to preventing a phishing attack that could have damaged their confidentiality and integrity.
The Challenge
The wide array of confidential, personal, and privileged information stored by law firms makes them a prime target for cybercriminals. Bad actors will try anything (phishing schemes, ransomware attacks, social engineering, password attacks, and other strategies) to steal data or disrupt legal proceedings.
Having worked with Cubex Group for over a decade, one law firm already knew the importance vigilant network security and updates played in their success. However, they were wondering if their organization was prepared to fend off the next generation of threats.
During one of our regular conversations, they asked us how to elevate their security posture and we came prepared with an answer: our Cubex Group Security Solution (CGSS). We demonstrated how our robust yet cost-effective approach to cybersecurity could protect their sensitive information, fortify access management, and prevent disruptive breaches. Liking what they heard, our client requested we implement CGSS as soon as possible.
The Solution
Thanks to our long-running partnership, we knew the full scope of their system and all the essential digital assets, data, and users we would need to protect. Additionally, we knew all the attorneys they had on-site in courtrooms, client offices, and other locations required secure endpoint security.
With that in mind, we calibrated our procedures and protocols accordingly to create a tailored solution:
- Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
- Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
- 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC)
Our agents set up Office365 administrative controls and other cloud services within hours and initiated continuous monitoring of their internal networks. We installed endpoint security software across all devices used by attorneys and paralegals to secure their data transmissions. With those actions taken, we were able to track all activity, identify suspicious actions, and respond to potential breaches.
The Results
Within the first few months, our Cubex Group Security Solution demonstrated the power of protection to our client. Automated monitoring features in our dedicated SOC were able to differentiate between authorized access and questionable activity. By analyzing login activity, we were able to determine and thwart a phishing attack.
An end user clicked a link, entered credentials and our systems immediately locked the account (within 30 seconds) and notified us in real-time of the attempt. We were able to reach the user, confirm the situation and remediate the threat.
By partnering with Cubex Group, our client continues to ensure the security of their sensitive data, maintained client confidentiality, and strengthened their overall cybersecurity framework, positioning themselves as a trusted and secure law firm.
