“We needed help it was only a phone call away”

We enjoyed another successful year at Hoag Library in no small part due to our relationship with Info Advantage. With the help of Johnathan and Linda we replaced many of our computers this year and have finally gotten all of our equipment onto a three year cycle for replacement. The installation of the new computers was handled in house knowing that if we needed help it was only a phone call away. Jeremiah was instrumental in helping us get all of the new equipment online and swapping out some other equipment with items that were at the end of life. Other times we have depended on Jacob to help us figure out why we were having problems. (an unknown power outage was one cause.) and he and Kris reset programs when we could not make successful updates. We were also unable to catalog new books when the dedicated computer went down. We sent the computer to IA , they performed “magic” and Jacob returned it and reinstalled it until our new computers came in.

“Words can’t describe the difference Info Advantage has made."

I have been working with the Info Advantage team for a little over a year now as the IT Manager for VP Supply Corp. Words cannot describe the difference Info Advantage has made in my ability to do my job and protect our network and information assets. What started as a hardware vendor has now evolved into providing MSSP services to better protect our network – and we could not be happier with the quick return on investment this has given us. I would like to give a special shout-out to the members of the Info Advantage team who have not only done their job exceptionally well but have also mastered the soft skills and make me feel as though I can always reach out if we need them. Johnathan, Chris Chan, Chris McDonald, and Nick Wetherwax have been outstanding over the past year. With continued success like this VP Supply will have Info Advantage as a partner for many, many years to come!

“I’ve worked with Info Advantage for 12 yrs. across multiple companies.”

I have worked with Info Advantage over the past 12 years at a couple of companies. This year, Info Advantage helped me deploy a new VMWare / EMC environment for my current employer. During the selection process, they were very responsive with quote changes, responses to questions and updates explaining every aspect of the roll-out. They were very willing to take my current level of knowledge into consideration in the quoting process and their quotes were very competitive. Once awarded the project, Info Advantage proceeded very quickly to order and install the hardware in agreed time with on-hands training and system documentation for me. I would personally recommend Info Advantage for any project.

Confidentiality Is Everything, So Is Cybersecurity

October 08, 20254 min read

In the legal world, information is power, and protection is non-negotiable.
Whether you manage corporate contracts, family matters, criminal defense, or high-stakes litigation, your firm handles sensitive client data every single day.
Unfortunately, so do cybercriminals.

Law firms are among the top targets for phishing, ransomware, and insider threats. Why? Because you hold the keys to everything from financial records to intellectual property—and attackers know clients will flee if their trust is broken.

At Info Advantage, we developed Brews & Cyber Threats to make cybersecurity education more approachable (and more memorable).
In this special edition for legal professionals, we’ve paired the five biggest digital threats facing law firms with signature beers from Rohrbach Brewing Company in Rochester.


1. Scotch Ale + Phishing (Deceptively Smooth)

Legal professionals are constantly emailing clients, courts, vendors, and opposing counsel. Phishing attackers take advantage of that urgency by impersonating trusted parties or referencing urgent matters.

Why It Hurts Law Firms:

  • Stolen client login credentials or document access

  • Malware that spreads through shared discovery files

  • Financial fraud via spoofed client communications

Info Advantage Tip:

  • Train attorneys and staff on spotting advanced phishing techniques

  • Use MFA and encryption on all email accounts

  • Regularly test staff with simulated phishing exercises

Why Scotch Ale?
Rohrbach’s Scotch Ale feels smooth and reliable but carries a serious punch beneath the surface. That’s phishing in a nutshell.


2. Space Kitty + Ransomware (Bold and Unforgiving)

Imagine every case file, deposition transcript, and billing system locked behind an encryption wall—days before a trial. That’s what ransomware can do, and law firms are prime targets because of the pressure and urgency they operate under.

Why It Hurts Law Firms:

  • Disruption to court deadlines or client work

  • Loss of access to case files or evidence

  • Massive reputational harm if client data is leaked

Info Advantage Tip:

  • Backup case data daily, onsite and in secure cloud environments

  • Deploy advanced EDR and ransomware isolation tools

  • Keep your document management systems fully patched

Why Space Kitty?
Rohrbach’s Space Kitty Double IPA hits hard and fast, just like ransomware. Once it locks in, there’s no easy way out.


3. Blueberry Ale + Business Email Compromise (BEC) (Sweet, Crisp, and a Little Sneaky)

A fake wire transfer. A fake client email asking for funds to be sent to a new account. Or a fraudulent request from a “partner” at your firm.
BEC scams are devastating and common in law firms where financial trust is high.

Why It Hurts Law Firms:

  • Wire fraud related to settlements or escrow

  • Breach of attorney-client privilege

  • Damage to firm credibility and regulatory investigations

Info Advantage Tip:

  • Use verbal confirmation for all financial transfers

  • Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC email authentication

  • Train partners and billing staff on high-level social engineering threats

Why Blueberry Ale?
This light, fruity brew from Rohrbach seems innocent, but it packs more than it shows. Like a well-crafted BEC scam, it hides the threat behind sweetness.


4. Helles Lager + Insider Threats (Smooth, But Needs Guardrails)

Former paralegals who retain access. Attorneys who copy files to personal devices. Even simple mistakes—like misconfigured permissions—can result in catastrophic data exposure.

Why It Hurts Law Firms:

  • Leaked confidential case files or depositions

  • Unauthorized sharing of NDAs, IP, or evidence

  • Compliance breaches with bar associations or clients

Info Advantage Tip:

  • Enforce role-based access and permissions

  • Immediately revoke access after terminations

  • Use behavior monitoring to flag suspicious data activity

Why Helles Lager?
Rohrbach’s Helles Lager is smooth and familiar—just like a trusted colleague. But when boundaries blur, things can quickly go wrong.


5. Vanilla Porter + Cloud Misconfigurations (Complex, Layered, and Needs Precision)

Legal tech has gone digital: DMS platforms, e-discovery portals, and client collaboration tools are often cloud-based. But a single wrong setting can expose privileged files to the world.

Why It Hurts Law Firms:

  • Exposure of confidential case data or client documents

  • Ethical violations and legal liability

  • Loss of client trust and competitive positioning

Info Advantage Tip:

  • Audit all cloud environments quarterly

  • Enforce least-privilege access by role and department

  • Turn on activity logging and security alerts

Why Vanilla Porter?
This full-bodied Rohrbach brew is complex, balanced, and rewarding when handled right. But one slip in execution—like your cloud setup—and it can turn bitter fast.


Final Sip: Trust Is Your Currency. Don’t Let a Cyberattack Bankrupt It.

Law firms thrive on confidentiality, compliance, and reputation—one digital breach can destroy all three.
Let Info Advantage help you secure your firm before someone else exploits the cracks.

Your clients rely on your discretion.
Learn how to defend your firm’s data from cyber threats—all while enjoying craft beer and insider IT guidance.
