• REvil has struck again. What can we do? Design for explicit access.

  | Mobile Helix Blog
  July 9, 2021 Seth Hallem. This latest attack from REvil on Kaseya VSA confirms the obvious – the business of ransomware is here to stay. Whether it is REvil, a spinoff from REvil, or an entirely new organization that is inspired by REvil’s success, a collective reconsideration of how we protect networks and endpoints is overdue. It has become standard practice to disable security software in order to enable functionality, rather than demanding the opposite – that software declare its intended behaviors in order to enable security software to detect anomalous behavior.

  March 2, 2021 Maureen Blando. The economics of remote work were positive in 2020. Law firms will likely make changes, for instance in leases, to capitalize on this going forward.

Maureen Blando, President, and COO of Mobile Helix, the company behind LINK, said document comparison had been one of the most important features for users from day one.

• What happens when the document comparison in your app isn’t reliable?

  | DocsCorp Blog
  January 30, 2019 . Picture this: you are a lawyer who relies heavily on your devices to work outside of office hours. Perhaps you use the morning commute to fire off emails from your smartphone, or maybe you use your tablet on the couch after everyone has gone to bed and the house is finally quiet. While working on these devices, you use a secure app made especially for legal professionals. It has everything you need – access to your document management system, advanced search, Word editing and annotation, and document comparison.

• CodeX FutureLaw 2018 Conference – Innovation Under the Redwoods

  | Mobile Helix Blog
  April 11, 2018 Maureen Blando, President & COO, Mobile Helix. Last week I attended the sixth annual CodeX FutureLaw Conference, under the canopy of the redwoods on the Stanford University campus.

I found the event to be stimulating and I would like to share what I  learned so that others may consider attending FutureLaw in the future.

• AI? What about NI? Enhancing Natural Intelligence Makes Better Lawyers

  | Legal IT Professionals
  March 6, 2018 Seth Hallem, CEO & Co-Founder, Mobile Helix.

  A good lawyer helps you see around the bend. In my experience over the years as a client, I have found that each time my attorney points out something in a contract or business decision that I had not anticipated, I ignore the next bill when it comes in and I pay it gladly. When I feel that my attorney is simply a contract factory, I look at each bill closely and start to wonder if there is a better way.

• Hacking is a booming business, and it’s time for a disruption

  | CSO Online
  February 20, 2018 Seth Hallem, CEO U& Co-Founder, Mobile Helix. Hackers are siphoning billions from the global economy each year by stealing data for profit.

• The number one reason attorneys should embrace mobile devices is surprisingly mundane

  January 10, 2018 Legal IT Professionals - by Seth Hallem.

  Smartphones and tablets are everywhere, and the discussion about the need to embrace mobile is similarly ubiquitous. However, in our experience, law firms are still in the early stages of embracing mobile devices as an essential work device. There are many reasons to stay away from mobile devices – the security risks inherent in a device that is easily lost or stolen; the conflation of personal and corporate data on a single device; and, perhaps most damningly, the feeling that the mobile device is out of IT’s control. However, it would be a mistake to miss the forest through the trees.

• In the aftermath of yet another Meltdown, no secrets are safe

  January 9, 2018 Seth Hallem in CSO Online. In the field of data security, 2018 began with a jolt. The revelation of the Meltdown and Spectre security vulnerabilities has taught us that in 2018 (and beyond), nothing is sacred. Speculative execution, the architectural concept that is exploited in the Spectre vulnerability, has been in use by mainframe processors since the mid-1970s. It is taught in Computer Architecture 101 in universities around the world. And yet, it turns out that the security implications were never fully understood until about seven months ago.

• Ransomware exposes a flawed desktop computing model – and why iOS is better, by Seth Hallem

  | Legal IT Insider
  July 12, 2017 . Over the last two months, the concept of ransomware has blasted into the public conscious with massive and disruptive cyberattacks. Both ransomware attacks were accompanied by a heavy dose of intrigue, and, for those willing to listen, a stern warning of what is to come. Seth Hallem, co-founder and CEO of Mobile Helix, looks at recent ransomware attacks, which point to fundamental issues that are inherent to the design of the Windows operating system, corporate intranets, and the Internet. Through this lens, mobile operating systems and, in particular, iOS are a seismic upgrade in protecting devices and networks from this type of attack, Seth says.
