State-Backed
Cyber Attacks Expected at Tokyo 2020 Games
The Public Security Intelligence Agency (PSIA) of
Japan has issued a warning that a state-sponsored cyber attack on the
Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games is expected, after
uncovering some early phishing emails made up to look as if they are
coming from Olympic staff.
… Russia has a particular motivation for an
attack on the 2020 games, however. The country recently received a
four-year Olympic ban from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) due to
repeated violations. Russian athletes can compete under “neutral”
status, but medals they are awarded do not count toward the country’s
lifetime totals. Russia and Japan also have a long-running dispute
over the Kuril Islands, and Russia has seized an unusual number of
Japanese fishing boats this year in the area including five in
December.

Law Firms Are Quietly Outsourcing High-Value Functions
The
American Lawyer:
“Sullivan & Cromwell spends millions of dollars on technology,
ensuring its equipment is accessible to its lawyers around the globe
and that its digital security can keep clients safe. Chairman Joe
Shenker, citing bank surveys, says the Wall Street firm’s tech
costs per lawyer are higher than any of its peers. Still, Sullivan &
Cromwell has managed to improve its profit margin while maintaining
high-quality telecommunications, computers and servers. That
financial success isn’t tied only to the firm’s lawyers. It’s
partly a result of back-office decisions. Starting in 2017, the firm
began outsourcing some of its technology functions and
infrastructure. The change required about 30 high-level staffers,
including engineers, to leave the firm and become employees of
another business, HBR Consulting’s managed services division. It
was a sea change in Sullivan & Cromwell’s evolution, Shenker
says. “You can’t keep up doing state-of-the-art,
best-of-the-best [in technology]—which is what we try to do—doing
it yourself,” Shenker says. Law
firms just can’t compete with big tech companies, he says.
Instead, “Let’s focus on what we’re great at and let other
people focus on what they’re great at.” Sullivan & Cromwell
isn’t alone. Big Law is embracing outsourcing. Not only are more
firms doing it, but the industry is outsourcing a growing number of
high-value departments, often shedding administrative and operations
employees in the process. The decisions carry some risk, but also
big rewards. The outsourcing trend goes beyond law firms opening
so-called “captive” operation centers, in which they move some
back-office jobs to lower-cost locations with firm employees. More
and more firms are moving departments and jobs outside the firm
entirely…”
