Law firms arouse much concern when it comes to their security apparatuses, often seen as a significant vulnerability for valuable corporate data. And while law firms have at times gotten a bad rap for meeting this particular client need, efforts are increasingly underway to shore up security.

I don’t think security is anything different. Security is just a tag-on that, in the last five to 10 years, has become of a big deal. … It’s really an old discussion, just the next step in the process.”
