We all know that cyberspace is getting more dangerous each year. We also know that we can take steps to protect ourselves from general Internet threats as well as attacks specifically targeting our organizations. But often we are overwhelmed by all of the reports and recommendations and don't know specifically where to start. In this webcast we will briefly look at the different types of online threats and their motivations, then we'll walk through ten steps you can take right now to protect yourself and your organization from cyber attacks. The main theme is that cyber attacks can and will happen. However, some simple countermeasures to make yourself less of a target combined with early detection and early mitigation will dramatically reduce the risk of a catastrophic breach or data loss.
