May

Fri 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM

Description:

Large companies such as Target, JP Morgan Chase, and Yahoo have been in the news recently after suffering cyberattacks that stole valuable customer information. The majority of all targeted cyberattacks in the past year, however, have been directed at small and mid-sized businesses, with fewer than 100 employees. The cost of a cybersecurity breach to an affected small business can easily exceed $50,000, and more for larger companies. Every company is a target now, and no business is too small to ignore the risk.

What you will learn:

  • What laws and regulations apply to your business
  • The costs and legal risks of a cyberattack
  • Cost-effective steps a small or mid-sized company can take to lower its risk and liability
  • Options for cyber insurance coverage

Key takeaways include learning about the need to assess your risk and develop a plan to lessen the chances of a cyberattack, some key steps to implement, including employee training, and coverage provided by cyber insurance. We will offer an online self-assessment that attendees can take at their convenience, to determine how well-protected they currently are against cyberattacks.

Cost:
Standard program fee - $35.00
