Keynote Session: New Threats Require New Strategies
Mike Semel, CEO & Founder of Semel Consulting
Overview: Threats are coming from new directions, and they aren’t all technical.
Customers and business partners are including cybersecurity requirements in contracts and are sending long questionnaires demanding details. Business relationships are at risk. New regulations from the Federal Trade Commission, HIPAA enforcement, the Department of Justice’s Cyber Fraud Initiative, and more state laws require record-keeping and documentation so you prove your compliance and are prepared for an audit, investigation, or a lawsuit.
Cyber insurance is worrying everyone from Chief Financial Officers to the Board of Directors. They want to make sure your organization is insurable and that your policy will pay off if needed. All while the average downtime from a ransomware attack has grown to 21 days, even though backups can be recovered faster than ever. The long downtime is caused by insurance companies, forensic investigators, and lawyers delaying recoveries so incidents can be investigated, evidence can be collected, and data and systems inspected to make sure they are safe to bring back online.
But there is hope. Cybersecurity, compliance, and business continuity expert Mike Semel will show you risk management and cyber resilience strategies and tactics you can implement right now to protect your data, your organization, and your career. Old strategies aren’t good enough anymore. We will give you actionable advice and a checklist you can follow to bring your IT and cybersecurity programs up to current standards. We want to guide you to success and help you stay there.
