Cyber Security for Non-Technical Personnel

Every week we read about yet another cyber (or more accurately: information) security breach where thousands of sensitive or confidential records have been stolen. According to a recent study into the cost of data breaches, the average cost of such a breach is US$158 per client / customer record. For health care organizations the cost is a staggering $355, and many health care organisations have been breached two or more times! Considering the huge number of records stolen, the total average cost of a data breach presently works out to around US$4 million, and many organizations, especially small to medium ones, don’t survive. It’s estimated up to 60% go out of business.

Board and senior management of many organizations don’t have a realistic view of these dangers, or how vulnerable their organizations are. For example, 83% of respondents to an information security survey said “their organization’s valuable assets are covered by video surveillance”. At the same time a recent US boardroom study found that “over 91% of high vulnerable board members said they couldn’t read a cyber security report and are
not prepared to handle a major attack”.

This 2-day seminar looks at the business side of information security. It takes delegates through a non-technical journey of the world of hacking, vulnerabilities, data breaches, etc. It highlights the origins of information security and looks at the many and varied ways in which hackers conduct cyber attacks on vulnerable organizations & individuals. Most importantly it identifies just who are the main perpetrators, some of whom will surprise.
