Coffee Talk: Cyber Threat Landscape: How are Hackers Targeting CPA Firms?

Over the past couple of years, we have seen a large spike in cybersecurity attacks and claims across the accounting industry. Threat actors are using sophisticated forms of social engineering and AI, wire fraud transfers, and more to exploit CPA Firms through cyber extortion. During today's episode, we are in the trenches with one of the leading civil defense lawyers, Beth Fitch Founding Partner, Righi Fitch Law Group, covering how firms are being targeted and what they need to do to help mitigate their cyber liability and risk. 

In this episode of Coffee Talk, Cetrom's Christopher Stark hosts Beth Fitch of Righi Fitch Law Group to discuss what CPA Firms need to know about Cyber Threat Landscape: How are Hackers Targeting CPA Firms?


In this video, Beth tackles the following hot questions affecting CPA Firms today:

  • What's going on in the cybersecurity industry? What kinds of cases are you seeing?
  • How is the evolution of AI introducing more sophisticated threats?
  • How are hackers targeting accounting firms specifically? (e.g., social engineering, etc.)
  • Why should firms focus on security best practices, cyber liability, and shifting their risk?
