Know Your Cyber Law

Steven will discuss how a WISP is a written memorialization to protect the areas of exposure, relevant legal and regulatory requirements and vulnerable assets. 
I.T. & Computer Security
One of the most tested and proven security strategies used today is known as Defense in Depth . This concept focuses on the coordinated and organized use of multiple security countermeasures to keep a database safe from intrusive attackers. Basically, this concept is rooted in the military philosophy that a multi-layered and complex defense is more difficult to infiltrate than a single-barrier protection system. The Defense in Depth strategy gives network administrators peace-of-mind and confidence that their network is secure through the usage of a Multi-Layered Defense plan. 
Communications in a Crisis
Fazio Heating & Cooling, a small business based outside of Pittsburgh, had its credentials stolen which allowed criminals access into its system. This allowed the criminals ultimately access into customers systems stealing data of 70 million customers and 40 million credit cards and debit cards from retailer giant Target. For crisis communications, it is your responsibility to minimize and plan for this risk. You have a responsibility to your customers, clients, members, employees and your organization to take this initiative. You don’t need to be a major brand or organization to have this risk threaten your very livelihood. A data breach hack is a risk to any organization, no matter its size or industry. Preparing ahead of time for a data breach and having the crisis communications plan in place will allow the flexibility for you to address the concerns and needs in a timely and effective manner while minimizing more aftermath and (collateral) damage. |
