Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's employment law firms could expose settlement agreements, grievance files and executive pay data, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why employment law firms are targeted: Employment disputes involve board-level settlements and whistleblowing files that attackers can sell or use for extortion.
