Cyber-Attacks: How to Reduce Your Risks
Date and Time: February 26, 2014, 4:30 p.m.
Location: Mezzanine Suite 236, Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA
Join us at RSA 2014 for an exclusive briefing and cocktail reception for select information security leaders.
In the wake of recent high-profile breaches at Target, Neiman Marcus and other entities, attendees will learn about the broad impact of intense cyber-attacks and how they can improve their own incident response. Topics to be covered include:
- Attack Trends - the increasing sophistication and stealth of cyber-attackers;
- Cost of a Breach - from financial penalties to reputational damage to a stifling of innovation;
- How to Reduce Risks - Questions you can ask internally to assess and mitigate your cyber-attack risks across the extended enterprise.
Background:
As the year began, U.S. retailers Target and Neiman Marcus were in the news for suffering point-of-sale breaches that potentially exposed more than 100,000 payment cards. Both merchants took a reputational hit, face potentially costly lawsuits, were grilled by Congress and may be assessed stiff financial penalties.
Safe to say: No one wants their organization to be the next Target. So, what can security leaders do to help their organizations reduce their risks of falling victim to intense cyber-attacks?
Join us for a discussion of cyber-attack trends and how to reduce risks. Tom Field, ISMG's Vice President of Editorial, will lead this discussion, joined by John Hawley, Vice President of Strategy for Security solutions at CA Technologies.
The speakers will interact with attendees to pose and answer a range of questions about cyber-risks, including:
- What actions could your institution take to most reduce the risk of cyber-attacks?
- Which technology risks are most likely to have a strategic and negative impact on your organization?
- Who in your sector could have the most impact in reducing the threat level associated with cyber-attacks?
No matter your industry sector, you won't want to miss this opportunity to network with your peers and obtain practical tips that you can put to use in reducing risk to your organization.
