Lawyers, accountants and other business professionals, who receive, manage, store and transmit sensitive client information, have the responsibility to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and accuracy of data is maintained. Information is the lifeblood of this industry sector and tremendous amounts of highly confidential data are accumulated. Organizations who fail to protect sensitive data may have significant liability in the event of a breach.

The risks are increasingly more pronounced as professional service organizations leverage technologies such as mobile connectivity, virtual meetings, and electronic document storage. The threat landscape has rapidly changed where sophisticated hackers target this sensitive information that is then sold to the highest bidder.
