A title company manages title-related records, escrow, and title insurance for property transactions. It verifies ownership history, records legal documents, and helps ensure real estate transfers are completed correctly.
In cyber security, title companies are attractive targets because they handle sensitive identity, financial, and property data, often under tight time pressure. Attackers may use phishing, account takeover, or ransomware to steal documents, disrupt closings, or extort the business. Defenders should protect email, remote access, and document systems, monitor for unusual logins or data exports, and preserve logs so any claimed incident can be verified quickly.
