Linked – Worst Mistakes and Best Practices in Law Firm Cybersecurity Measures

ByMike McBride November 7, 2017November 6, 2017 Reading Time: 1 minute

For law firms, I would guess that 1-2 are the most likely mistakes being made. What would you say?

As for dumb mistakes to avoid, consider the following:

1. Do not keep unnecessary client data “just in case you need it someday.”
2. Do not forget to encrypt data.
3. Do not leave access paths unsecured.
4. Do not delay in patching weaknesses and vulnerabilities as soon as they are discovered.
5. Do not neglect reconfiguring badly configured servers and databases.

Anything you’d add to this list? Check out the whole article and share it with your lawyer friends.

Linked – Time Is A Management Tool, Not A Pricing Tool
ByMike McBride May 4, 2024May 4, 2024 Reading Time: 1 minute

It’s been an issue before, but firms have always been able to work around the edges, limiting the impact those efficiencies had on their overall billable hours. This feels different. The entire point of AI tools is to create significant efficiencies across the business world. Not using them will end many client relationships. They won’t accept that level of inefficiency. On the other hand, a firm investing in AI technology does not get a return on investment if their revenue method is hours worked.

Reading – iOS 9 Actually Makes the iPad Usable for Work
ByMike McBride September 16, 2015September 14, 2015 Reading Time: 1 minute

As a blogger, I’m very much looking forward to the ability to have an article open with the WordPress app next to you instead of constantly going back and forth between apps or Safari tabs on my iPad. It’s closer to what I would normally do when writing on a laptop or at my desk…

Linked: How to Be a Mental Health Ally
ByMike McBride May 13, 2022May 12, 2022 Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s that first line that should grab your attention because so many people do not see mental health struggles as something that impacts them, or will impact them. But the numbers don’t lie. Someone you know, probably even someone very close to you, is dealing with mental health struggles as you read this. Someone you work with is doing the same themselves or supporting someone else who is.

How great would it be if we all recognized that and provided a safe place for them to talk about those struggles instead of not welcoming their voices and causing more harm?

I don’t think we can even imagine how helpful that would be because we see it so infrequently. It’s time for that to change.

Do Vendor "Claims" Raise Unrealistic Expectations?
ByMike McBride September 14, 2009 Reading Time: 2 minutes

I attended a statewide ILTA event today, for Litigation Support Professionals, that attracted quite a few folks from around Ohio, as well as neighboring states. The sessions were good, and I may have a few blog posts inspired by a few of the things that were discussed, but one thing in particular grabbed my attention….

Linked: Brain Research Confirms Stupidity Of Back-to-Back Meetings
ByMike McBride July 20, 2021July 20, 2021 Reading Time: 1 minute

The research just proves that we already know from first-hand experience, right? We’ve all been in back-to-back meetings, leaving one Microsoft Teams or Zoom call just to click the link to another, and it’s obvious which team members have done that and aren’t mentally prepared for the current meeting.

We all know it. We all schedule our meeting to end at 25 or 55 past the hour so that we don’t make people do that, and then we still run to the top or bottom of the hour anyway. Sometimes even over.

Proving, once again, that we suck at meetings. And yes, I include myself in that.
