MIAMI – FEBRUARY 25, 2019 – Today Teramind Inc., a leading global provider of insider threat and data loss prevention (“DLP”) solutions, announced a specialized focus to help law firms comply with today’s highly regulated business landscape. Firms are faced with the ever evolving challenge of addressing their insider risk issues as it pertains to securing attorney-client privileged information and client/matter data, ensuring the security of the work product offshored, and securing access to critical systems by privileged users and third party vendors/contractors. Teramind for Legal is designed to assist law firms to address these requirements to deliver peace of mind and product/demonstrate effective oversight to compliance initiatives to their clients.
“The stakes for all businesses, but especially law firms, is the escalating threat to them and their clients due to the sensitive nature of the client data they manage. Attacks for business typically result in financial damages over $500,000, if not more for larger brands. And, as more businesses head towards the cloud, the majority also see privileged users as a top cloud security concern,” said Isaac Kohen, CTO of Teramind.
Clients Driving Demand for Demonstrable Compliance
With the rapidly expanding regulatory landscape, organizations beholden to comply are demanding product/demonstrable evidence that their firms adhere to the same standards, from AML/KYC, HIPAA, ISO27001/27002 to GDPR and more. To empower law firms to stay ahead of the threat, Teramind for Legal features:
- Controls to ensure safety of client/matter data and work-product stored in firm systems and repositories, beyond the traditional password-protection/access control/identity management systems.
- Oversight, audit and logs of all actions for all employees (or any subsection of users/departments) at the firm.
- Privileged user monitoring, session recording, with searchable logs, videos, and audit trail for forensics.
- Focus on context with heavy emphasis on user behavior analytics to weed out false positives, and identify anomalous behavior.
- An immutable log of actions that clearly product/demonstrate all activity as it pertains to firm desktops, laptops and content.
- Ability to set up real-time alerts to monitor suspect actions.
