The conflict involving Iran is not limited to physical operations. It is increasing cyber activity that affects everyday business systems used by U.S. organizations. For law firms, this risk does not show up as sophisticated cyber warfare. It shows up in the tools you already rely on. Email. Logins. Document access.

Recent activity shows a clear pattern. Attackers are not breaking in with advanced techniques. They are logging in through weak access controls, phishing, and systems that are not fully secured. At the same time, many firms are already dealing with small, recurring IT issues. Login problems. Slow systems. Files that cannot be accessed. Individually, these seem minor. Over time, they reduce productivity, interrupt work, and create gaps that increase risk.

This session connects these two realities. What is happening globally, and how it affects the way your firm operates day to day. More importantly, it focuses on what to do about it in a way that is simple and practical.

This session will explore:

• How the Iran conflict is increasing cyber activity affecting everyday systems
• Why attackers rely on phishing and login-based access
• Where law firms are most exposed, especially in email and Microsoft 365
• Real-world examples of how these risks are impacting firms now
• How small IT issues reduce billable time and increase risk
• The KISS Action Plan: stronger logins, backups, and system updates
• What to prioritize now to protect client data and maintain operations

This session is designed for lawyers and law firm owners who want a clear, practical understanding of rising cyber risks and how to respond without overcomplicating their systems.
