The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) have released Phishing Guidance—Stopping the Attack Cycle at Phase One to provide guidance in the ever-waging battle against phishing exploits. The guidance is relevant to all organizations, though it may pose challenges for those with limited resources. To address this, the guide incorporates a section with customized suggestions tailored for small- and medium-sized businesses that may lack the resources for a dedicated IT staff to consistently combat phishing threats.

The guidance encourages software companies to create and deliver software that is resistant to common phishing threats, ultimately enhancing the cybersecurity resilience of their customers. In the phishing mitigation guidance for all organizations, CISA, NSA, FBI, and MS-ISAC recommend organizations implement DMARC and other controls

We all know that the potential ROI of an email list isn’t in the quantity of subscribers. It’s the quality of your subscribers that makes a difference.

As a legally trained digital marketer, I’ve racked up over five years of experience in planning and executing email campaigns for a variety of organizations — including a legal platform — whose email lists ranged from hundreds to tens of thousands of subscribers. And I find email such an amazing marketing channel. There are no pesky algorithms that control whether your target audience gets to see your content.

So, if you’re looking to add email marketing to your law firm’s marketing strategy, follow this nine-step process, which I’ve drawn up with the legal industry’s unique characteristics
