From Courtrooms to Client Sites: Stay Secure with LGA’s Secure MiFi Solution

In today’s work environment, legal and audit professionals often rely on portable devices to access case files, client records, and confidential reports on the go. 

However, this convenience comes with increased exposure to cybersecurity threats, especially when connecting through unsecured public or shared networks. For firms that handle sensitive financial data and privileged legal information, even a minor breach can lead to serious reputation and regulatory consequences.

That’s why having a secure, private connectivity solution like Secure MiFi is no longer optional - it’s essential.

The Weak Links in Today’s Mobile Connectivity

1) Public Wi-Fi: High Risk, Low Security

Since COVID-19, flexible working has become the norm, allowing employees to work from almost anywhere. Public spaces like cafes, airports, and hotels are now popular remote work spots due to their accessible Wi-Fi. However, public Wi-Fi networks often lack strong security measures and use weak or default passwords, making them highly susceptible to cyber threats. 

One of the most common risks is a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, where hackers intercept data transmitted between a device and the Wi-Fi network. This can result in the theft of sensitive information, including login credentials and company data.

A real-life example of this occurred when German General Frank Gräfe used hotel Wi-Fi to discuss sensitive military matters with other German Air Force officials. Unfortunately, the conversation was intercepted and recorded by Russian spies (Parker, 2024).

To mitigate this risk, some have turned to portable Wi-Fi devices (MiFi) to avoid public Wi-Fi. However, if not chosen and secured carefully, these devices can also be compromised. 

Specifically, cybercriminals may still exploit security flaws to gain control, leading to data interception and privacy breaches. Since data transferred through MiFi can be unencrypted, hackers may gain access to sensitive information such as credit card details and login credentials.

2) Malware and Malicious Software

Another significant threat is malware attacks, where hackers infect devices through phishing links, fake apps, or unsecured networks, installing malicious software that can steal data, track online activities, or even take control of the device.

A notable case is the NotPetya ransomware attack on DLA Piper in 2017. The law firm experienced a severe cyberattack that disrupted global operations, encrypted files, and required over 15,000 hours of IT overtime to recover.

This incident highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity measures, particularly for legal and audit firms that handle sensitive client information (Crozier, 2018).

Our Core Features

Integrated Secure Web Gateway 

Powered by an integrated Secure Web Gateway and VPN, Secure MiFi delivers enterprise-grade protection for professionals who work on the go with sensitive legal and financial data:

1) Anti-Virus - Proactive Defense for Sensitive Case Files

For firms handling confidential contracts, financial records, and client data, security is non-negotiable. Secure MiFi’s built-in anti-virus actively scans both incoming and outgoing traffic, blocking malware before it can compromise your documents. With continuous updates and real-time threat detection, it protects your files whether you're at court, on-site with clients, or working remotely.

2) URL Filtering - Safeguard Professional Integrity

To ensure secure and compliant browsing, Secure MiFi includes intelligent URL filtering. It blocks access to high-risk or uncategorized websites, reducing exposure to phishing attacks and malware. Customizable filtering settings also help enforce company internet policies, ensuring that your team stays within regulatory and professional boundaries.

3) Policy Management - Compliance Without Compromise

In the legal sector, protecting client data and ensuring regulatory compliance is non-negotiable. Secure MiFi’s policy management features allow firms to implement tailored security policies that regulate internet access, safeguard sensitive information, and support adherence to regulations like GDPR and data privacy laws. By automating policy enforcement, firms reduce the risk of data breaches and maintain consistent security standards across teams, locations, and devices.

4) Reporting - Actionable Insights for Risk Mitigation

Security isn’t just about prevention — it’s about awareness. Secure MiFi provides detailed reporting tools that give firms visibility into network activity, threats, and policy compliance. These insights help identify vulnerabilities, monitor user behaviour, and strengthen overall data protection strategies. With clear analytics on browsing patterns and blocked threats, legal and audit teams can take proactive steps to reduce risk and keep client data secure.

Integrated VPN Features

1) Data Encryption - Protecting Client Confidentiality

Legal and audit professionals routinely handle highly sensitive information — from client communications and legal documents to financial data. Secure MiFi’s built-in VPN uses enterprise-grade encryption to ensure that all data transmitted over the network remains fully protected, even when using public or remote connections. By creating a secure, encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet, it prevents unauthorized access and keeps your confidential information safe from interception.

Secure MiFi’s VPN is built with a strict no-logs policy, meaning your online activity is never tracked, stored, or shared.
