Cyber risks can come from any direction, externally or internally, and today’s business leaders must understand their sources and how to address them. It is crucial to comprehend these risks and their potential impact to ensure the resilience of a business against ever-increasing cyber threats. While prevention may not always be possible, preparing for, responding to and recovering from a threat should be the preferred approach. Attendees of this session can earn up to four CPE credits in the field of Information Technology.
