SPEAKER: Stephen Cracknell, Founder & CEO of USM Technology and Best-Selling Author of Cyber Storm
TOPIC: Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION: The presentation focuses on the economics of cybercrime and the business implications for the target companies. While many executives look at cybercrime as a technology problem, the reality is a cyber-attack, first and foremost, is a business problem, responsible for triggering a cascading series of legal, compliance, revenue, client retention, and insurance implications.
A well-prepared and educated executive suite is a vital resource in an effective cyber response and will minimize the damage that hackers can inflict.
You will hear stories about business leaders who were forced to respond to a cyber-attack, and you will learn a straightforward approach to effectively prepare the leadership team to repel a cyber-attack.
