At 2b1 Inc., we often hear law firm leaders say, "We have antivirus, so we're covered." Unfortunately, that's like locking your office front door while leaving the back door wide open. Modern cyber threats demand a layered approach.

That's why we created the Cybersecurity White Paper for Law Firms, a practical 24-point playbook that goes beyond antivirus. Each point is explained in plain English so non-technical leaders can see both the "why" and the "how."

Every section follows the same format:

• Definition – a clear explanation of the safeguard.
• Problem – why it matters in a legal context.
• Solution – what the cybersecurity measure does to reduce the risk.
• Implementation essentials – quick wins and realistic first steps.

This structure turns what could feel like technical jargon into a usable reference for firm leaders.

Definition
Ransomware is malicious software that locks your files—or even steals them—and demands payment to restore access.

Problem
For law firms, ransomware can halt filings, delay closings, and trigger breach notifications. The pressure of client deadlines makes firms attractive targets.

Solution
Ransomware protection is not one product, but a set of coordinated defenses:

• Endpoint protection to block suspicious files.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) so stolen passwords can't be misused.
• Network segmentation to contain an outbreak.
• Offline and immutable backups to restore without paying.
• Incident response playbooks so the firm can act quickly and decisively.

The takeaway? By layering these measures, firms can continue serving clients even if attacked

The full white paper covers 24 cybersecurity aspects—from password policies and mobile device management to vendor oversight, Zero Trust access, and incident response. We also include a 90-day quick-start plan and a 12–18 month roadmap so firms can adopt controls in stages rather than all at once.

Cybersecurity is not about buying a single product. It is about adopting a playbook of practices that protect confidentiality, preserve client trust, and keep the firm resilient no matter what.
