Legal firms need reliable defences
As simple or advanced as you want it to be, the SenseOn platform can automatically detect even the most advanced threats, including the notorious NotPetya ransomware, which brought the global law firm DLA Piper to its knees in 2019, as soon as they enter your system. Any instances of suspicious movement of sensitive data, regardless of whether it happens within or beyond the firm, are flagged as well.
What legal firms love about SenseOn
Minimal effort required to correlate data
The nature of legal work means that the volume of data needing to be protected is extremely high. This, in turn, generates a significant amount of security data. SenseOn correlates all of this data into one usable format so analysts can instantly find out who, what, where, when and how without having to try and link up information from disparate sources.
Direct observation of your network
As security teams are becoming more distributed through remote working, it is becoming even harder to access network information with traditional tools. SenseOn’s Universal Sensor collects data across remote workers, offices, production sites and cloud instances at once with an EPNS service to correlate endpoint information and the network data at the point of being recorded.
Drastic reduction in blind spots
With sensitive data comes great responsibility. It is a top priority that there are no security blind spots in a legal firm’s digital estate. Any gap could be an entryway for adversaries to access confidential information. Our Universal Sensor provides specific, granular information without the traffic jam of lots of different tools to stop adversaries penetrating your estate.
Reduction of noise
As with many security teams, resources for cyber security within legal firms are often thinly stretched. As such, there is rarely the capacity to resolve the thousands of alerts that are generated by traditional security tools. Using a highly accurate AI based reasoning framework, SenseOn only brings true positive alerts to the attention of analysts, dramatically reducing security operating costs.
