Join your hosts Mytech Partners and SUCCESS Computer Consulting for two engaging sessions on the human element of cybersecurity:
The press can’t get enough of corporate data breaches. They delight in showcasing the latest horror story about a business that lost massive amounts of private records or millions in revenue to the latest hack. You could be next.
Despite all the funds you may have spent on state-of-the-art security software, the bad guys are just one gullible user click away from staging an all-out invasion. To make matters worse, that user might well be you! Recent surveys show that executives can be some of the biggest culprits when it comes to clicking on phishing links and opening malicious email attachments.
Yet by far the most effective strategy in combatting these attacks is also one of the most poorly implemented – security awareness training. The long list of “worst practices” for user education is almost endless – break room briefings while people eat lunch and catch up on email; short instructional videos that provide no more than superficial understanding; and the time-honored practice of hoping for the best and doing nothing.
Find out what the true best practices are for security awareness training – those that establish a human firewall to effectively block hackers and criminals, and keep you out of the headlines.
What we will cover:
The weakest point in any security solution is the end users. We take a look at what end users can do to reduce the risk to themselves and their organizations. In general terms, we will discuss what the vulnerability landscape looks like today, debunk some myths and show you some good practices to reduce your risk of becoming a victim.
This year, we are offering a mobile app for Twin Cities TechPulse so you can have the entire event at your fingertips.
