The Threat is Real…this blog is the cure.

Business and entrepreneurship bring many ups and downs. We at least know the sadly high failure rate of most small businesses and entrepreneurs can rationally try to address the known challenges. But a friend you believed trustworthy stabbing you in the back, is a threat most don’t want to even contemplate. To make matters worse, bitter, expensive litigation often follows the shattered relationship, rarely making any party whole or happy.

I have started this law firm amid such a maelstrom—not to feed at the trough of litigation, but to help readers avoid such a fate. Reality stacks the odds against most new small firms. Current studies estimate that between 50 to 65 percent of firms will suffer losses from an internally enabled attack. A lawsuit over a trusted insider's misappropriation of trade secrets does not improve those chances. On a rare positive note, Brutus-level betrayal is rare, with most data breaches resulting from well-meaning employees who have fallen prey to AI tricks or social engineering. Returning to the bad news, those with short attention spans dont read past the headlines. A data breach becomes the story, and lawsuits follow, no matter how well-meaning the employee.

You can reduce the risk of becoming a tragic headline by understanding the threat and taking it seriously. To that end, I hope to use this blog to highlight current insider threat cases, provide some general tips, and keep the topic front and center in readers’ minds. I hope this helps. Cheers.
