About the Program

You work on the most private matters for clients and have their sensitive data. How do you keep that information protected? What can you do if you are breached? Cyber-attacks continue to increase in frequency, sophistication, and severity. And with AI, they are forecasted to get worse and more persistent. The FBI states, “It’s not if, but when.” Are you and your clients cyber safe?

In this thought-provoking panel you’ll learn about:

  • The current cyber threat landscape and the inner workings of cyber criminal syndicates
  • Cyber risk transfer and the intersection of insurance and cybersecurity protection
  • Best practices to avoid becoming a cyber victim and what to do if you are attacked
  • Actionable insights on what individuals and businesses can do to protect themselves

Each attendee will receive a copy of “Are You Cyber Safe?”- a publication on cybersecurity basics for small businesses by the Office of the Ohio Secretary of State.
