Exposed, Targeted & Breached: Your Business Has Already Had A Cyber Attack (Oak Brook, IL)

Registration is from 8:00 – 8:30 A.M. / Continental Breakfast will be served.

Most companies take over six months to detect data breaches.

 It was recently reported that the average commercial business is faced with continuous attacks and most of those organizations are unaware a breach has occurred.

Businesses are facing ransoms, corporate take overs and their information being sold on the black market.

The best case scenario is that the cyber thieves simply hold the data for ransom – forcing the organization to pay top dollar to purchase it back. However, these thieves know that the data stored by commercial businesses, public entities and organizations is valuable – ranging from trade secrets to sensitive customer data. If accessed, this data can be sold on the black market for high prices. The threat of private and secure information being leaked for the world to access creates an entire new set of concerns for businesses.

Business owners of all sizes continue to function under the false belief that they are protected and their IT department is mitigating potential breaches. When in reality, they have already been breached.
