Events Industry Council Webinar: Cyber Security Threats — Are You Prepared?

 

December 7, 2017 11 a.m. EST 

In a recent Events Industry Council survey of over 200 meeting professionals, 82.4 percent of respondents felt that a data breach has the potential to adversely affect their organization, but only 26.56 percent are aware of having an information security policy that provides for events. The risks are significant for our industry and our organizations, with those affected reporting brand reputation damage, financial damage, time taken from managing the event and attendee dissatisfaction. This webinar will help you to assess your cyber security risk and will provide practical guidance to help you to protect your information.

Learning outcomes:

• Learn how to identify information for your meeting that is valuable to criminals, including Personally Identifying Information (PII), Payment Card Information (PCI), Company Confidential Information (CCI) and other client data.
• Using a risk assessment matrix, learn how to assess data that needs to be secured, and how to balance needs for this information to be accessible.
• Learn practical steps that you can take to make your data more secure.
