What would happen if your firm couldn’t access its files tomorrow?

Not for a week. Not permanently. Just one workday.

Attorneys lose billable hours because they can’t access the documents they need. Staff members spend their day troubleshooting, waiting, and finding workarounds instead of doing their actual jobs. Emails and client requests go unanswered. Time-sensitive work becomes a lot more stressful when the information you need is suddenly unavailable.

And when the system finally comes back online, the lost day doesn’t disappear.

The work is still there. Deadlines still have to be met. Clients still need answers. Your team now has to catch up while keeping up with everything that was already scheduled for the next day.

For a law firm, downtime isn’t just an IT inconvenience. It can affect productivity, billable hours, deadlines, client service, and ultimately the trust people place in your firm.

Cybersecurity isn’t only about preventing someone from stealing your data. It’s also about making sure your firm can keep operating when something goes wrong.

How long could your firm realistically operate without access to its files?

How did you do? Let’s check your answers!✏️

1️⃣ Password reset email: NO.
Even if the email looks legitimate, don’t use the link inside it. Go directly to Microsoft 365 through your normal login instead. Phishing emails are designed to look like the real thing.

2️⃣ Urgent request from your boss: NO, not yet.
If someone is asking for sensitive information, money, credentials, or something unusual, verify the request another way first. A familiar name in your inbox doesn’t guarantee the person behind the message is actually who they say they are.

3️⃣ Unexpected DocuSign request: NO, not automatically.
If you weren’t expecting it, verify it before opening. Attackers can impersonate people you know or use compromised accounts to make a malicious request look completely normal.

4️⃣ QR code from a client: NO.
QR codes aren’t automatically safer than links. They can send you to malicious websites just as easily, and they make it harder to see where you’re actually going before you scan.

5️⃣ You clicked, but nothing happened: YES.
Report it. Immediately. No pop-up or obvious reaction doesn’t mean nothing happened. The sooner your IT or security team knows, the sooner they can investigate and respond.

If a few of these made you stop and think, that’s the point.

Cybersecurity threats don’t always arrive with bad spelling, suspicious attachments, and an obvious scammer on the other end. Sometimes they look like your boss, your client, a document you recognize, or a login page you’ve seen a hundred times.

That’s why practical cybersecurity training matters.

Reno Cyber Solutions offers a free, two-hour, on-site CLE course for legal teams that covers the real-world threats your firm is actually facing, while your attorneys earn CLE credit without leaving the office.

QR codes have become part of everyday life. Restaurant menus, parking meters, event check-ins, invoices, package tracking... we scan them without giving it much thought.

That's exactly why attackers are using them.

Instead of sending a suspicious-looking link, they'll hide it behind a QR code. Scan it, and you could land on a fake Microsoft 365, Google, or banking login page designed to steal your credentials.

The tricky part? Many email security tools inspect links in emails, but a QR code can make that malicious destination harder to detect.

A few habits can make a big difference:

🧠 Be cautious of unexpected QR codes in emails or printed materials.
🧠 Before entering a password, double-check the website address after scanning.
🧠 If a QR code asks you to log in unexpectedly, stop and verify the request through another method.

QR codes are incredibly useful. Just remember they're still links—you just can't see the destination until after you scan.

Leaving the office shouldn't be the hardest part of earning CLE credit.

That's why we bring the training to you.

Instead of asking attorneys and staff to spend half a day traveling to a seminar, Reno Cyber Solutions delivers practical cybersecurity CLE training right in your office.

Here's what you get:
✅ Free on-site training
✅ Just two hours
✅ CLE credit
✅ Real-world cybersecurity guidance your team can use immediately

It's one of the simplest ways to stay compliant while making your firm more resilient against today's cyber threats.

If you're planning your team's CLE schedule, contact Matt to reserve a date that works for your office.

What's more valuable to your team: checking a compliance box, or walking away with skills that could prevent your next cyber incident?

08/03/2026

Be honest... Are you just checking a box every year?

Everyone sits through the annual cybersecurity training, signs the form, and then doesn't think about it again until next year.

The problem is that cybercriminals don't wait a year to change their tactics.

Neither should your training.

Security isn't just knowledge. It's behavior. And behavior is built through repetition.

The more often your team practices recognizing phishing emails, suspicious links, unusual requests, and other common threats, the more automatic those good decisions become.

Think about it this way: you wouldn't expect someone to stay proficient at CPR after practicing it once a year. Cybersecurity works the same way.

Short, practical training throughout the year keeps security top of mind and helps employees build habits that actually stick.

That's one of the reasons we focus on practical education rather than checking compliance boxes. Our continuing education courses for legal professionals are designed to make cybersecurity understandable, relevant, and immediately useful—not just something you sit through to earn credits.

Because the best security training isn't the one people remember once a year. It's the one that changes what they do every day.

A document can be just as dangerous as a suspicious email.

We've trained ourselves to be cautious of sketchy attachments, but attackers have adapted. Today, many phishing campaigns rely on shared documents from trusted platforms like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and SharePoint.

You receive a notification that someone shared a file with you. The sender's name looks familiar. The platform is legitimate. Nothing seems out of place.

That's exactly what attackers are counting on.

Before opening any shared document, ask yourself a few questions:

• Was I expecting this file?
• Do I know the sender, and does this request make sense?
• Does the message create urgency or pressure me to act quickly?
• If I'm unsure, can I verify the request through another method?

A legitimate platform doesn't automatically make every shared document legitimate. Cybercriminals often abuse trusted services because they know people are more likely to let their guard down.

A few seconds of skepticism can prevent a much bigger problem.

Come back next week for another Weekly Red Flag that can help you spot cyber threats before they become security incidents.

The biggest cybersecurity risk in your business probably doesn't work in IT.

It could be someone in accounting opening a fake invoice. Someone in HR downloading a malicious résumé. Someone in sales replying to a spoofed email while rushing between meetings.

That's because cybersecurity isn't an IT problem. It's a business problem.

Every department handles sensitive information. Every employee uses email. Every person has access to systems attackers would love to exploit. Technology plays an important role, but technology alone can't stop human error.

The organizations with the strongest security cultures understand that cybersecurity isn't something you hand off to the IT department. It's something everyone participates in.

That means recognizing phishing attempts, using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, reporting suspicious activity quickly, and understanding why security policies exist.

When employees see cybersecurity as ""someone else's job,"" attackers gain an advantage.

When every employee understands they're part of the defense, your organization becomes significantly harder to compromise.

Cybersecurity isn't about turning everyone into an IT expert. It's about giving every person the knowledge to make one better decision when it matters most.

That's how real security is built.

Meeting your CLE requirement and protecting your firm are two very different things.

Most continuing legal education focuses on regulations, ethics, and compliance. Those topics matter, but compliance doesn't stop ransomware.

It doesn't stop a convincing phishing email from reaching an employee's inbox, and it doesn't stop a cybercriminal from exploiting one overlooked weakness.

That's why we created our cybersecurity CLE course.

Instead of spending two hours talking about what the rules say, we spend that time discussing what actually happens in the real world and, more importantly, how to reduce your firm's risk before it becomes a crisis.

We cover practical topics like:
• The cyber threats law firms face most often
• How attackers target legal professionals
• Simple security habits that make the biggest difference
• Real-world scenarios your team could encounter tomorrow

Our goal isn't just to help you earn CLE credit, it's to help you leave with knowledge you can put to work the very next day.

Because the firms that recover fastest from cyber incidents usually aren't the ones with the thickest compliance manuals.

They're the ones whose people knew what to look for before something went wrong.

If you're responsible for protecting client information, cybersecurity isn't just an IT issue anymore. It's a business issue, a trust issue, and a client service issue.

That's exactly why this course exists.

Think you're emailing your coworker or a trusted vendor? Take one extra look.

One phishing tactic attackers use is changing the Reply-To address while making the sender name look completely legitimate.

At first glance, everything appears normal. The display name might say "John Smith" or "Accounting Department," and the email even looks like it came from the right company.

But when you click Reply, your response is quietly sent to a completely different email address controlled by the attacker.

Why does this matter?

Because once the conversation starts, you're much more likely to trust follow-up questions, send sensitive information, or approve requests without realizing you've been redirected.

Before replying to an unexpected email, especially one asking for payments, passwords, confidential information, or urgent action, take a second to verify the actual email address you're responding to.

That extra click could save your firm from a costly mistake.

Come back next week for another Weekly Dose of Red Flags as we break down the phishing tactics cybercriminals are counting on you to miss.

Password managers... cybersecurity tool or MISTAKE? It depends on how you use them.

Let's clear up this misconception right now!

Many people worry that storing all of their passwords in one place creates a single point of failure. That's a reasonable concern. But for most businesses, the far greater risk is employees reusing passwords, creating weak passwords, or writing them down where anyone can find them.

A reputable password manager helps solve those problems by:
✅ Generating long, unique passwords for every account
✅ Encrypting your credentials so they're protected
✅ Making it easier for employees to use strong passwords without having to remember dozens of them
✅ Allowing businesses to securely share passwords when needed instead of sending them through email or chat

Of course, a password manager isn't a magic fix...

If you use one, make sure you also:
➕ Create a strong, unique master password
➕ Enable multi-factor authentication
➕ Keep your devices secure and up to date
➕ Choose a trusted password manager with a strong security track record

The goal isn't to eliminate all risk, it's to reduce it.

For most organizations, a properly configured password manager dramatically improves security compared to the alternatives.
