#2 - (UPDATED) Defending Clients Against the Data Breach; Protecting Against Spyware, Malware, & Ransomware -- with Robert Siciliano, Security Expert, CEO of Safr.M.
CE Credit Approved: 1 CE Credit (Course Code: C134737) Every few seconds, someone has his or her identity stolen. Computers are hacked, wallets are stolen, credit cards are compromised, credit is ruined...and the instigators make more in a day than most of us make in a year. The fact is, the system we function under is set to fail--and unless businesses take proactive action to protect the public and consumers know they options, it's just a matter of time before they are all victimized.
Data breaches cost thousands of dollars per incident, and while the public suffers, organizations and corporations take on a huger potential financial loss when it comes to the potential of identity theft and data forfeiture.

During this presentation, the instructor will examine:
-- The clever ways thieves look for--and get your and your clients'--information
