Security Is a Top Priority. But Are You Overlooking the Infrastructure Behind It?

Law firms continue to invest heavily in security, and for good reason. ILTA’s 2025 Technology Survey shows rising adoption across every major category of security software, from endpoint detection to multi-factor authentication.

But protecting your firm isn’t just about software. The systems those tools run on matter just as much.

If your infrastructure is outdated or misaligned with your firm’s risk strategy, even the best security investments can fall short. Aging laptops, fragmented lease schedules, and inconsistent refresh plans all introduce hidden vulnerabilities and hidden costs.

Security Spend Is Rising, But Visibility Is Still a Struggle

According to ILTA:

• Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is now in place at 88% of firms

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is used at 94% of firms

• Zero Trust frameworks and enhanced mobile protection are on the rise

These numbers are encouraging. But while software adoption is strong, infrastructure planning is often less mature. The survey noted that many firms still struggle with:

• Inconsistent laptop refreshes

• Manual asset tracking

• Reactive infrastructure budgeting

• Misaligned vendor terms across departments

This lack of visibility makes it harder to stay proactive, especially when security is on the line.

Why Infrastructure Gaps Put Firms at Risk

When infrastructure isn’t managed strategically, firms may:

• Extend the life of endpoint devices past support windows

• Miss security patches due to aging hardware

• Struggle to apply policy controls consistently

• Overpay on renewals or service contracts due to fragmented vendor agreements

These issues add up. And in many cases, they aren’t caught until an audit or a breach reveals the gaps.

Better Visibility Starts with Smarter Leasing

When firms approach infrastructure as part of their broader risk strategy, they make better decisions. Leasing helps by:

• Giving you centralized visibility into lease terms, devices, and refresh cycles

• Making budget forecasting predictable

• Creating standardization across multiple locations

• Ensuring devices are replaced before they become liabilities

• Reducing the lift on internal IT teams by coordinating vendor activity

This kind of structure gives firms control, consistency, and peace of mind, without requiring large capital outlays or patchwork spreadsheets.
