Law Firms
Confidentiality is fundamental to legal practice. Clients expect it, regulators require it, and it holds regardless of where or how the work gets done.
But most firms now run a hybrid model, with attorneys working from home, hotels, airports, and client sites. That flexibility helps productivity, and it opens a security blind spot: the uncontrolled network edge.
Loxada helps close that gap by securing the networks your legal teams use outside your IT department’s reach, so remote access stays consistent, compliant, and protected against increasingly capable threats.
Why the Network Edge Is a Risk
The network edge is the point where your systems connect to the internet. When that edge sits outside your firm’s infrastructure, in a home, a hotel, a shared workspace, you no longer control it.
Staff routinely rely on routers supplied by home ISPs, or on public networks in hotels and co-working spaces. These setups:
- Run outdated or unpatched firmware
- Reset to factory defaults, wiping any prior security settings
- Lack network separation, letting other devices snoop or interfere
- Give your IT team no central visibility or control
These risks are not theoretical. Agencies including the NSA and CISA have increasingly highlighted routers and edge devices as priority targets, pointing to the need for controlled firmware and centralized update mechanisms.
The scale of the shift is measurable: within breaches that involved exploiting a vulnerability, the proportion targeting edge devices and VPNs rose from 3% to 22% year on year, an almost eightfold increase (Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report).
Your Professional Duty Doesn’t End at the Office
The ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct call for lawyers to make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, client information. That brings the tools, systems, and networks used to reach case files, client communications, and privileged records all within scope.
Firms working in regulated practice areas, healthcare litigation, financial compliance, M&A, may also fall under industry-specific data-protection obligations, and some firms handling customer financial information may have obligations under the FTC Safeguards Rule. Wherever the line falls for your firm, the network your people connect from is part of the picture.
How the Threat Landscape Has Changed
Attacking a network no longer takes a sophisticated criminal outfit. Ready-made attack services and AI-assisted scripts put the capability within reach of almost anyone. Common vectors aimed at the network edge include:
- DNS hijacking, redirecting users to fake login portals.
- Interception of case data on the local network before encryption takes effect.
- Lateral movement, with malware spreading between devices on the same network.
- Router compromise, giving an attacker persistent, low-visibility access.
A compromised router in a hotel room, a rental, or a home office can quietly expose sensitive legal work, even when the endpoint is protected and the files themselves are encrypted.
What Loxada Offers
Loxada provides a fully managed secure router that creates a known-good network wherever your attorneys and staff are working.
Each Loxada secure router:
- Runs Loxada’s own secure firmware, replacing the manufacturer’s code.
- Routes traffic through Loxada’s secure connectivity layer, an encrypted connection from the device out to the internet.
- Updates automatically, securely delivered, with no manual intervention.
- Returns to a secure state if tampered with, so a factory reset can’t strip protection away.
- Is centrally managed, bound to named users and revocable on demand.
- Blocks known malicious domains, dropping any request to a domain on Loxada’s aggregated blocklist of known-bad domains before it resolves.
Nothing to install, no user training, and no technical support needed at the endpoint. The result is a consistent, controlled connection every time.
Designed for Modern Legal Workflows
Loxada supports the realities of legal practice today, where attorneys work on the move, teams operate across jurisdictions, and deadlines don’t wait for secure Wi-Fi. It helps protect:
- Partners reviewing contracts from home.
- Associates drafting documents from client sites or co-working spaces.
- Litigation teams collaborating during travel or court visits.
- Support staff accessing client management systems from outside the office.
It works alongside your existing encrypted-connectivity client, remote desktop, DMS, and case-management tools, strengthening your security posture with no platform overhaul.
