Between 2016 and 2017, we saw an increase in cyber crimes globally. To date, two instances of threats to data became the talk of numerous international bodies:
The WannaCry Ransomeware Attack - The WannaCry  attack was a worldwide cyberattack by the WannaCry ransomware cryptoworm, which targets computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system by encrypting data and demanding ransom payments in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
The Panama Papers – Major data leak of confidential 11.5 million documents that detailed financial and attorney–client information for more than 214,488 offshore entities.

3. Primary Targets Data Rich enterprises such as: Law Firms
Sensitive information that will garner them big payouts
Healthcare Institutions
Health information - a mixture of personal and financial information
Primary Targets for Ransomware and Data attacks are:
Law Firms - Data-rich law firms are an attractive target for cybercriminals in search of sensitive information that will garner them big payouts.
Healthcare Institutions - There are a few obvious reasons that make the medical sector an enticing target for cyber attacks. Health information is a mixture of personal and financial information.

4. Foundational Questions

6. Identify Vulnerabilities
Work with experts to:
Identify existing business processes that can create a potential risk
Conduct Technical Vulnerability Testing
Take an in-depth look at non-technical elements

Technical Vulnerability testing.
Taking an in-depth look at non-technical elements that can make a firm an easy target to threats.

7. The Outcome The organization should be able to:
Build a solid foundation
Identify an outside resource

Once all the above questions have been addressed and answered, an organization should be able to:
Identify a solid foundation to begin the process of designing and implementing an enhanced network security plan.
Identify an outside resource to assist in implementing an managing their data security.
Identify if they are in a place to respond to a hypothetical loss or disclosure of confidential client data.
