Secure file sharing is imperative for Lawyers Without Borders, a group

Hartford, Conn., uses Intralinks VIA to protect confidential legal 
documents and court papers from unsanctioned access.

The SaaS solution for content sharing and collaboration is a favorite of 
Christina Storm, executive director of Lawyers Without Borders (LWOB). The 
robustness of the product reassures LWOB’s multinational law firm partners 
that the group is meeting their security standards, Storm says, and it’s 
an important safeguard for lawyers in the field.

“The product allows us to securely share documents and court papers. 
Intralinks VIA also permits us to revoke access to documents in the event 
the wrong people get ahold of them,” Storm says. “This can be a matter of 
life and death for lawyers doing pro bono work with clients in troubled 
countries who are battling human trafficking, terrorism and other human 
rights violations. The interception of sensitive documents by criminals or 
unfriendly governments can compromise the safety of in-country clients, 
and in some cases the attorneys with whom they work.”

Storm shared LWOB’s experience with Intralinks VIA as part of Network

favorite enterprise tech products. This year, a number of IT pros chose 
enterprise security products as their favorites.
