Much like the financial services and healthcare industries, cybercriminals have begun to target law firms with increasing frequency. Law firms often retain incredibly sensitive information that make them targets of cyberattacks. Information such as personal information, financial records, trade secrets and law strategies make for valuable treasure.

The financial services industry is continually one of most frequently targeted industries for cyberthieves year after year. The reason is not a difficult one to surmise as banks hold the money that all cybercriminals need. According to IBM, the average global cost of data breaches reached $4.88 million in 2024. The average cost of data breaches in the financial industry however is 22% higher than the global average at $6.08 million.
