ABOUT
The 2023 Summit
Building a Culture of Security in Your Business
Technology is evolving faster than most businesses' efforts to stay current. Everyone knows that you need to be protected and now, more than ever, there are many options to assist you in keeping your business safer. Fundamentally, more businesses are paying attention to who they interact with to ensure compliance as a factor in the vendor/client relationship. It is even more common that insurance companies are reviewing cyber protections before they will write a policy and conducting cyber audits to ensure compliance.
Cybersecurity threats will continue to arise and hackers are getting more adept to the changing infrastructure defenses. Don’t get caught off guard. Learn about evolving technical, business, and compliance issues that might serve to keep your business on its toes.
​
Our roster of speakers include representatives from the legal, finance, insurance, and technology sectors.
The summit's unique format will both educate attendees and provide you with specific steps to assess data security and manage cyber-related risks for your business - no matter if you are a technology specialist or business professional.
