Data Privacy, Information Security, and Cybersecurity: What Your Business Needs to Know

Seeing this high percentage of risk that might lead to greater loss, organizations should be well aware of their processes and procedures in place. Decisive for avoiding breaches is that everyone in the organization is able to understand and detect potential threats beforehand and react in a quick and effective way. 

The webinar will cover: 

• The most recent attacks such as the supply chain attacks
• Trends, and statistics
• The impacts of the pandemic on cybersecurity landscapes, closing the gaps on remote workforce security, 
• How to improve your organization’s cybersecurity posture by asking the right questions and implementing a tiered approach
