Risky Business: Protecting Your Company and Yourself Against Global Cyber Attacks

Join the World Affairs Council of Charlotte as we host experts from Dixon Hughes Goodman (DHG) on Thursday, May 6, 2021.

In an age when global cyber-attacks are increasingly prevalent, addressing security risks can be critical to sustaining a strong brand and complying with ever-evolving privacy and security regulations. Businesses must take the steps necessary to protect their information and avoid damaging interruption of operations or, worse, becoming the next headline. We’ve all heard stories of international scams, hacks, breaches, and fraud involving computers and technology, but how much should you worry, and what should you do about it?

In the presentation, the DHG experts will discuss:

  • Data Breach Trends
  • Laws, Regulations and Compliance – Recent Updates
  • Cybersecurity Fatigue
  • Cyber Threat Environment
  • Case Studies
