Data Defense in the Age of COVID! SIA Virtual Presentation
Presented by: Wynn Salisch,
Casablanca Ventures, LLC
Data security’s constantly emerging threats – particularly in the age of COVID can feel a lot like playing an unending game of whack-a-mole. This session will finally explain, in plain English, how to better secure one’s PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and sensitive business and payments data in this era of growing fraud and costly breaches, including how to deal with the dangers of ransomware and other online threats.
This informative (and scary) session is valuable to everyone for protecting both their personal and professional lives. Few people really comprehend the true risk exposure of data security issues facing them, because no one can be an expert at everything.
