Latest Insights and Cybersecurity Resources

With over 77% of UK law firms experiencing cyber attacks in the past year, cybersecurity is no longer optional — it’s essential. From ransomware attacks to supply chain breaches, the legal sector is under siege. Cyber threats like phishing, insider risks, and unpatched systems can lead to massive disruption, reputational damage, and fines of up to 5% of turnover from regulators like the SRA and ICO. This article explores why law firms are vulnerable, what actions they must take, and how CIOs can build a compelling business case for greater cybersecurity investment.

NCSC's "Defend as One" initiative depends wholly on its contributors and the more that people share, the more others will come forward and share. Members can only benefit from the growth of the community. The initiative is proving that sensitive information can be transformed into valuable insights, shared anonymously to bridge the gap between entities and between the public and private sector.

Talanos truly believe that defenders who care about cybersecurity should put in the effort to close down attacker infrastructure they discover. We don’t do it for our customers, for money or for recognition - we do it because we actually care about the communities we live in and it’s the right thing to do. This post will explain the takedown process, how to research targets and escalate to be successful.

At Talanos, we support a number of financial services organisations with exposure to Europe where DORA is certainly applicable and we've worked through the regulations and supporting RTS, cover to cover, to identify how we can help them to achieve and maintain their compliance and in some cases take ownership of the requirement on their behalf. We've mapped the regulation and requirements into a handy whitepaper, available to download.
