On November 18th, I had the pleasure of moderating a fantastic panel on “Evaluating & Managing the Ever-Changing Landscape of Technology Risk.” Our expert speakers included:

• Neal Maguire – Investigations Manager, Verizon RISK Team
• Augusto Russell – Partner, May, Bonee & Walsh
• Michael W. Wanik - Director, Corporate Security, United Therapeutics

We discussed and learned quite a bit about some strange and scary terms like Phishing, Pre-texting, Trojan Horse, Malware, Social Engineering, Keystroke Loggers, Spyware and Worms… Lots of new things to be worried about that seem to change all the time. Our speakers were incredibly knowledgeable and informative, helping attendees separate the hype from what is real. They offered great advice appropriate for keeping any sized business safe, and shared useful Data Loss Prevention guidelines, which we’ve added to our member website Library for reference. Handouts included “How to Secure Your Company's Most Sensitive Data,” and “Protecting IP Data from Loss and Theft: The Shortest Path to Prevention and Risk Reduction.”

Stay safe… and enjoy!
