Professional Services
Professional services firms have embraced a mobile and hybrid-first way of working, but their cybersecurity practices haven’t always kept up.
Whether you’re a legal advisor, management consultant, accountant, or project-based contractor, you likely rely on remote access to sensitive client information.
But when that access takes place from untrusted or uncontrolled networks, home routers, serviced offices, or hotel Wi-Fi, the network edge becomes your weakest point.
Even when using VPNs, endpoint protection, or cloud platforms with MFA, the router itself, often consumer-grade and unmanaged, can introduce significant risk.
These overlooked devices are increasingly targeted by attackers using AI-assisted tools and ready-made hacking platforms.
Loxada solves this problem by replacing untrusted network hardware with a managed, secure connectivity layer, giving your firm a practical way to secure client data at the point of access.
The Uncontrolled Network Edge: A Growing Business Risk
Today’s professionals often work across a patchwork of environments: client boardrooms, coworking spaces, home offices, airports, and hotels. While the cloud makes access seamless, it also means that sensitive data routinely crosses networks you don’t own or manage.
Uncontrolled edge networks introduce real, and often hidden, risks:
- Routers with outdated or unpatched firmware that attackers can exploit
- Factory reset options, which remove any security hardening
- Shared home networks, where family devices may carry malware
- Lack of isolation, allowing lateral movement between devices
- No audit trail, making incidents hard to detect or investigate
These risks aren’t theoretical. The NSA and CISA have issued joint guidance warning organizations about the dangers of unmanaged edge devices and default firmware.
Their recommendations, including secure boot, signed firmware, and centralized update control, are all built into the Loxada platform.
Threats Are Increasing, and Less Technical Than You Think
In the past, exploiting router vulnerabilities required skill. Now, thanks to Hacking-as-a-Service (HaaS) platforms and AI-assisted attack tools, anyone with a credit card and an internet connection can:
- Scan the internet for vulnerable edge devices
- Rent prebuilt exploit kits targeting router CVEs
- Launch man-in-the-middle attacks on hotel or public Wi-Fi
- Use AI to generate convincing phishing pages for network hijacks
- Automatically escalate privileges once inside the local network
This is no longer niche. As professionals access more data from more places, the attack surface expands. And as attackers get faster and more automated, so too must your defenses.
Loxada: Professional-Grade Security for the Modern Workplace

Wherever work happens, Loxada helps ensure it’s done securely, without slowing anyone down.
Helping You Meet Client and Regulatory Expectations
Clients increasingly expect their professional services providers to follow cybersecurity best practices.
In sectors like finance, healthcare, and legal services, those expectations are tied directly to regulatory obligations. Loxada helps you demonstrate due diligence in protecting access to sensitive data.
Our platform supports compliance with:
- GLBA and the FTC Safeguards Rules for financial service providers
- HIPAA requirements for consultants handling Protected Health Information
- State-level data protection laws, including California’s CPRA and others
- Cyber insurance questionnaires, which increasingly ask about router security, firmware updates, and network segmentation
- Client-specific cybersecurity frameworks, including secure vendor access standards
Even if your client provides the platform, you’re responsible for how you connect to it. Loxada helps make sure that connection meets modern expectations.
