Cyber and National Security Programs Webinar Series 2020-2021

Business organizations are faced with not only cyber-threats from Nation-states, terrorists, hacktivists, and cyber-criminals but also a multitude of burdensome cybersecurity requirements from Federal and State regulators to protect their digital information. With every new technology and business trend (e.g., cloud, IoT, AI, work from home, tele-health) comes the question of "how are we going to secure our data and networks?" 

In our webinar, we will get "back to basics," focusing on risk management, cyber hygiene, mitigation, and resiliency by discussing how to effectively make the business case for investment in cybersecurity, including technologies, processes, and people (e.g., from the Board and senior executives to the business units to administrative and support staff), and develop and implement data security and privacy programs to protect your data and business from today’s cyber-threats.
