Why This Matters in Florida
Florida’s legal market is growing rapidly, particularly in real estate, healthcare, finance, and litigation. Weak email security increases the risk of Business Email Compromise, domain spoofing, and exposure of sensitive client information.
These risks are relevant as more Florida firms handle complex transactions that require strong data protection practices.
Recommendations
Florida law firms should prioritize:
- Implementing a strict DMARC policy (
p=reject) - Enabling MTA-STS and actively monitoring TLS reports
- Regularly auditing email and domain security configurations
- Conducting ongoing security awareness training
