Florida  30+ Years  Legal Services

Overview

This organization is a well-established law firm with a 30-year history of providing legal counsel across environmental, land use, legislative, and governmental law. With a reputation for excellence and a team of board-certified attorneys, this firm is recognized as one of the top-ranked legal entities in its field, both locally and nationally.

Their legal practice spans multiple offices across the state and supports a wide range of clients, from individuals and businesses to local and state governments. Like many law firms, they handle highly sensitive client data daily and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, security, and integrity of every interaction.

Incident Response: Stopping a Threat in Real Time

The firm faced increasingly sophisticated phishing attempts targeting unsuspecting users. In this case, a phishing email appeared to come from a trusted vendor and prompted one of the firm’s users to book an appointment via a link. What seemed like a routine message was, in fact, the first step in a targeted attack.

Once clicked, the link redirected the user to a malicious website that silently deployed malware. This payload installed software designed to give a threat actor remote access to the firm’s internal systems, including a critical file server inside their domain.

Huntress, the firm’s managed detection and response solution, was the first to detect the threat. It flagged the activity as tied to a known malicious domain and generated an immediate alert. Simultaneously, ThreatLocker’s zero trust application control recognized that the malware wasn’t approved to run and blocked its execution. The combination of Huntress’ behavioral monitoring and ThreatLocker’s application-level enforcement prevented the attack from spreading.

Within an hour, the affected system was isolated, assessed, and restored. The firm avoided ransomware encryption, prevented data exfiltration, and minimized impact to just five users, all without major disruption.

Why This Matters

In the legal industry, where sensitive data is constantly exchanged and client trust is everything, even a brief breach could have enormous consequences. Without the support of Choice Solutions, with Huntress and ThreatLocker in place, the malware could have spread laterally, encrypted confidential case files, and triggered a devastating ransomware event. Instead, the firm experienced minimal downtime and no data loss.
