The new Legal Services Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (LS-ISAO) Services debuted yesterday -- via the financial services' industry's 15-year-old Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC), which is considered one of the most mature ISAC/ISAO groups today. Word that the FS-ISAC was assisting the launch of the legal sector's own group first came earlier this year.
Law firms are a juicy target for cyberattacks given the amount of confidential corporate information they handle, including information on mergers and acquisitions and other legal issues, so it was no surprise the legal sector was prime for an ISAC/ISAO.
"We're providing [to the legal ISAO] the infrastructure to disseminate and receive cybersecurity threat and vulnerability information," says Cindy Donaldson, vice president of products and services with FS-ISAC.
