TOPIC
Cyber Crime is one of the greatest threats to every business, and the pandemic has increased the threat 400% as noted recently by the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center- IC(3). The impacts to the financial health of the company, reputation, and ability to operate can be catastrophic if not handled well from the time of the incident identification. Join us as we review some recent cases during the pandemic that employers have faced and how they handled the situation.
The solution is: “Be Proactive, Prepare For The New Threats”
Ransomware is an Evolving Threat that Now Exploits the New Normal Brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic
Organizations with Newly Remote Workers are at Heightened Risk
Enterprises can Deploy “Three Magic Things,” which will Significantly Reduce Their Risk of a Cyber Incident at Little to No Cost
