Webinar: Privacy and Data Protection in 2020 – What Your Business Needs to Know.

February 13, 2020 • 12:00pm – 1:00pm EST

All it takes is one employee clicking on the wrong link in an email, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars you spend on your security infrastructure are useless. So to sit back and rely on your IT department with the expectation that nothing will ever go wrong is a risky proposition. Issues related to data privacy and cybersecurity are not limited to large organizations. In fact, depending on what reports you read, anywhere from 40% to 60% of cyberattacks specifically target small to medium sized businesses, and upwards of 70% of small business have experienced some form of cyberattack in the last year. The smaller the business, the fewer the resources it will typically have to spend on cybersecurity. If you think a good cybersecurity plan and infrastructure is too expensive, wait until you find out how much it costs not to have one.

Learnings:

  • Be able to distinguish between cybersecurity and data privacy
  • Identify the biggest risks companies are faced today as it relates to cyberattacks
  • Develop a plan for the future that is worst-case scenario to mitigate risk, minimize damage and protect the bottom line.
