Cyber Resilience – Preparing for and Recovering from Cyberattacks
Welcome to Tech Tuesday!
Cyberattacks are no longer a question of if but when. Businesses and law firms that prepare for cyber incidents recover faster and minimize damage. This week, we’ll cover cyber resilience—how to protect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats.
How to Build Cyber Resilience
Create a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan
Document who does what in case of a cyberattack. Assign roles for IT, legal, and communication teams.
Regularly Backup Critical Data
Use the 3-2-1 rule:
✅ Keep 3 copies of your data.
✅ Store it on 2 different media types.
✅ Keep 1 copy offsite or in a secure cloud.Train Employees to Recognize Threats
Phishing attacks, malware, and social engineering are common attack methods. Educate your team on red flags and security best practices.
Invest in Cyber Insurance
Coverage can help offset financial losses from data breaches, ransomware, or business downtime.
Test and Update Security Measures Regularly
Run penetration tests and review access controls every 6 months to ensure your defenses stay effective.
Why It Matters
A data breach, ransomware attack, or system failure can shut down operations and cost thousands. By strengthening cyber resilience, you reduce risk, minimize downtime, and protect sensitive client and business data.
