Cybersecurity refers to the activities, practices, and technology that keep computers, networks, programs, and data secure and protected from harmful activities such as unauthorized access, modification, or damage. Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that by 2021, cybercrimes will cost $6 trillion per year worldwide; this includes not only stolen money, but also the value of lost productivity and intellectual property, data theft, business disruption, reputational harm and more. This panel draws in the expertise from various industry experts and organizations and will discuss trends in the current corporate landscape. Panelists will offer best practice suggestions for info pros so they can help reduce costs for their organizations by putting protections into place, firming up security policies and identifying vulnerabilities before attacks happen. |
