Join ACC Tennessee and Miller & Martin for a 1-hour virtual CLE

“Cyber Threats in the Age of Remote Access”

This session will explore cybersecurity and privacy threats facing companies and the potential for massive financial losses, reputation, and legal risks as a result of being the target of financial crimes or data breaches. Cybercriminals use sophisticated (and sometimes not-so-sophisticated) schemes such as compromising business emails and phishing, computer hacking, social engineering, ransomware, malware, and other tools to designed to cripple security controls and access confidential financial and personal information. Unprecedented global events, unfortunately, bring out the worst of humankind, and the current COVID-19 pandemic is no different. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, cyber risks have grown as companies embrace telework and remote access capabilities. This presentation will focus on real-world scenarios that companies have faced and the lessons learned, privacy & data security standards and compliance, effective strategies to reduce risk and liabilities; and best practices for data breach response and crisis management in the event of an attack.
