Did you know this is Cybersecurity Awareness Month?

Beginning in 2004, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has designated October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. It is a collaborative effort between government and industry to educate Americans on staying safer and more secure online.

Throughout the month, NIST partners with other federal agencies and engages with public and private sector partners through events and initiatives. The NIST also provides online tools, links and checklists on preventing and responding to cyber events.

Alta Pro Insurance Services has been at the forefront of cyber awareness for lawyers and legal professionals. In June, we presented the CLE webinar Cybersecurity Ethics with guest speaker David Ries, a cybersecurity lawyer and co-author of the American Bar Association’s Tech Report 2022. This was the latest in a series of Alta Pro CLE webinars over the past three years on cutting edge cyber-law topics.

The focus of this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022 is on four key behaviors:

  1. Enabling multi-factor authentication
  2. Using strong passwords and a password manager
  3. Updating software
  4. Recognizing and reporting phishing

Alta Pro will be publishing a four-part Cybersecurity Awareness Checklist series on the Alta Pro RPG Pro Practice Blog that takes a deep dive into each of the above-mentioned focus areas.

Alta Pro Insurance Services keeps you informed on cutting-edge issues that affect your practice. Every week the Pro Practice Blog posts timely and topical dispatches from the risk management front lines. We spot looming risks – like the possibilities and potential perils of cryptocurrency – and give you advance warning. We identify promising trends – like Micro Self-Care, Cybersecurity Ethics, and the One-Page Business Plan – and give you the inside scoop. We bring you live CLE webinars on topics you request, most recently “Managing a Law Practice in Uncertain Times.” Please let us know how we can help your professional practice minimize risk and maximize reward. We’re here for you.
