The Koogler Group is offering a free special edition industry education bulletin on cyber awareness training. The 37-page bulletin provides an in-depth review of issues impacting the title and settlement industry arising from both single-target attacks, like wire transfer fraud, and industry-infrastructure attacks, like ransomware.
It was prompted by the July 16 Cloudstar ransomware attack.
“The recent Cloudstar attack was yet another reminder how unprepared many, if not most, small [micro] and midsize title agencies and law firms are for any type of cyber-event,” Koogler Group President and CEO Karen Koogler said. “Most are especially unaware of first-party and third-party liability issues.”
The bulletin focuses on first-party risk and liability arising from both cyberattacks and through third-party service provider relationships. It includes a nine-page historical timeline of regulatory-world and real-world events, as well as educational resources on data privacy and cybersecurity.
