IRWIN MITCHELL
established itself as a cybersecurity leader within the legal sector , with particular emphasis on resilience and proactive threat management .
Harnessing the power of AI Unsurprisingly , AI – both analytical and generative – plays a pivotal role in Irwin Mitchell ’ s cybersecurity efforts .
Analytical AI is already embedded in some of the security products it uses , such as Extended Detection and Response ( XDR ), which provides monitoring 24 / 7 , 365 days a year .
The most important thing here , from Graham ’ s perspective , is generating automated responses to whatever threats come Irwin Mitchell ’ s way .
“ It really does work like a dream ,” he enthuses . “ You set up the rules and , when it detects a threat , it reacts automatically to prevent an incident from happening .
“ It then alerts our SOC team who can triage , but not in the traditional sense . Instead , they ’ re looking at whether the block was justified or whether it was a false positive . A false positive might have a minor impact but it ’ s better to be safe than sorry – that ’ s the approach we take .”
Analytical AI is also enhancing email filtering and phishing alerts , coming in particularly useful when Gen AI is being used to enhance phishing emails and social engineering tactics .
