Security Enhancements

 

Intrusion Detection System – A couple of months ago during our maintenance window, we implemented new redundant firewalls and an intrusion detection system. An IDS monitors the network traffic in and out of Legal Workspace for malicious activities. By identifying suspicious patterns it can prevent an attack from someone or something attempting to compromise your system.

Another optional security enhancement we now offer is two-factor authentication.  For a nominal fee per user, this service provides a second layer of security to your remote desktop login.  The way it works is that anytime you enter your password to access Legal Workspace, you will receive a pop-up message on your mobile device, you will have to hit yes to let the system know it is in fact you that entered the password. While we do have controls in place to lock an account if multiple incorrect passwords are entered, this second layer of security will protect you if someone ever gains access to you password.  Contact our team to learn more about adding two-factor authentication to your Legal Workspace plan for a low monthly cost.

Legal Workspace Ranks as Leading Solution for Practice Management in the Cloud

Legal Workspace, a leading provider of cloud-based work environments designed specifically for law firms, today announced that it has been voted as a “Best Practice Management in the Cloud” solution in the Texas Lawyer Business Department’s “Texas’ Best 2015.”

The poll, in its sixth year, calculates the votes of hundreds of lawyers as they select the best of legal service and technology providers.

“It is truly an honor to be recognized as a preferred cloud-based legal technology solution,” said Joe Kelly, founder and CEO of Legal Workspace. “Law firms interested in adding efficiency and stronger security are increasingly moving to the cloud. Our experience with office and legal-specific software enables lawyers to easily log in to their cloud-based desktop and have every solution they need to operate efficiently and productively.”

“Legal Workspace was exactly what we were looking for,” said Randall Doctor, founder of the Doctor Law Group. “All we had to do was select the software we wanted and Legal Workspace handled everything from there.”

In addition to partnering with leading legal software providers, Legal Workspace also recently announced the launch of the Legal Workspace HIPAA Compliant Edition. The solution enables law firms considered business associates by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Omnibus Final Rule to meet the necessary security regulations by offering an HIPAA Business Associate Agreement.
