Confidentiality and Integrity are areas where cybersecurity must be absolute.

Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability are the three elements of the CIA (or AIC) triad model.  These elements are considered to be the most crucial components of information security. In the legal arena, Confidentiality and Integrity are areas where cybersecurity must be absolute.  Without confidentiality (of client data) and integrity (accuracy of facts, dates, names and numbers) customers will not trust the lawyers or law firms handling their information.

Some of today’s threats to legal organizations or law firms would be:

  • A data breach whereby client information is stolen and published.
  • Intellectual property (patent) information stolen
  • Changes to case files, dates, bank account numbers, etc.

What Type of Pen Test Does Your Law Firm Need?

To achieve proper data integrity, legal firms must maintain the consistency, accuracy and trustworthiness of information throughout its life cycle.  Important legal data must not be changed or altered by unauthorized people, or even accidentally by authorized personnel.

Scenario 1 Pen Testing

Customer-Driven or Compliance-Driven

Example: “We have a web application and one of our biggest clients need us to get a 3rd party pen test performed for their risk team”.

This scenario actually describes a vulnerability assessment, followed by a blend of automated and manual pen testing that looks for obvious configuration flaws or vulnerabilities that can be exploited without too much effort.   The main goal is to produce a remediation report on the issues that let you harden your website, application or network.  This can also be considered a security audit of sorts, particularly when a specific set of metrics are used for compliance measurement (e.g. PCI-DSS compliance) or if we are looking at analyzing the running configuration of a device. CyberHunter will produce a Penetration Test Report and depending on the needs, couple this with an OWASP report (for web apps), a PCI Compliance report (QSA-Certified or Standard), or an ISO27001/2 report for standard-specific requirements.

Scenario 2 Pen Testing

Breach the Network (Red Team Exercise)

Example:  “As a law firm, we are looking to test and improve our overall cyber security posture and we need an ethical hacker to try to break into our network.”

This scenario describes a more traditional penetration test.  This type of pen test (also called a Red Team exercise) simulates an adversarial role and is a far more realistic way to test the security readiness of a legal organization.  This testing covers exploitation attempts against People, Process, and Technology.  It can involve a significant amount of social engineering and usually triggers active security controls and countermeasures inside the operating environment.  These tests will additionally assess internal Blue Team (the defensive team) responsiveness and/or process in the event of an intrusion detection.

The right Pen Test can save your Law Firm from being the next headline.

PENETRATION TESTING FOR Law Firms

The initial phase of a penetration test is to take all the reconnaissance data, enumerated system data and every one of the identified theoretical vulnerabilities and attempt to exploit them the same way a hacker would.  This is the Penetration Test or Pen Test and it is where all those theoretical weaknesses get exercised to see if there is way into the network or web application.  Each pen test is customized to meet the needs of the client.  Whether white-box or black-box, internal or external, wireless or wired…we even perform social engineering tests to see if we can ethically hack into your law firm.

More than Traditional Pen Testing

Normal penetration tests provided to Law Firms live in a world that only looks at how to exploit KNOWN, theoretical vulnerabilities.  These tests do not address zero-day flaws in security controls or applications.  These tests are also limited by the skill of the ethical hacker doing the testing.  At CyberHunter, traditional pen testing for a law firm as an example is only the starting point.  We also hunt for breach and compromise that has ALREADY happened.  Every single minute of the day your law firm’s network perimeter, your lawyers and your legal web applications are being pen tested by thousands of adversaries. CyberHunter Solutions Pen Test 2.0 has built-in threat hunting that works to identify Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and Zero-Day malware that has already breached the banking network.  Get the world’s most advanced Law Firm pen tests with CyberHunter.
