CTERA Ransom Protect Achieves 100% Detection

Legal Services

Protect Privileged Data. Prove Control. Enable Secure Collaboration.

Modernize legal data services so attorneys and staff can work quickly across offices and devices, while IT and security maintain consistent governance, resilience, and compliance.

Sensitive legal data needs stronger control

Law firms and legal departments manage growing volumes of confidential content, discovery, contracts, and filings across jurisdictions and time zones. Legacy NAS and office-by-office storage create operational and compliance challenges.

Legal data is outgrowing legacy infrastructure

Confidential matter data is expanding across offices, devices, and external collaborators

Remote work and cross-office teams need predictable access without brittle workarounds

Ransomware and insider risk require immutable protection and fast recovery options

Retention, legal hold, and audit expectations are hard to prove when policies vary by system

Multi-cloud and acquisitions increase fragmentation and governance drift

KEY DATA CHALLENGES FOR LEGAL ORGANIZATIONS

CTERA enables organizations to balance fast local access with centralized security, governance, and scalability, featuring:

Silos and inconsistent access
When data lives across separate systems, teams lose visibility, duplicate files, and collaboration slows.

Secure collaboration beyond the firm
Co-counsel, experts, clients, and vendors often need limited access. Without a governed model, sharing becomes risky and hard to audit.

Retention and defensible oversight that scales
Legal hold, retention, and access history become labor-intensive when enforcement depends on manual processes or varies by office.

Recovery that matches legal continuity requirements
Cyber incidents can disrupt filings and client service. Restoration must be fast, precise, and based on protected versions.

Modernizing without breaking permissions Migration must preserve structures and access controls to avoid disrupting workflows and oversight.

Readiness for analytics and AI initiatives
When unstructured data is scattered and inconsistently governed, it is harder to discover, secure, and operationalize responsibly.
