Strong Authentication for Law Firms

Law firms are under increasing pressure to maintain the same security levels as their clients. They may be covered under Graham-Leach Bliley, the California Database Protection Act, or other regulatory requirements.

Law firms are the ultimate knowledge-based enterprise. In today's environment, law firms compete for clients and for recruits. Providing an IT infrastructure that enables anywhere, any time access to information improves customer service and allows a quality of life that any attorney can appreciate. However, nothing is more important to attorneys than maintaining attorney-client privilege and privacy. To provide appropriate access while maintaining security across international boundaries and doing so in a cost effective way is a challenge.
