After a brief overview of Cyber Security Part I, we will explore risks and threats to data and how they materialize; how to assess the risks to your data and business, and steps to take to mitigate those risks; how to identify what needs protecting, why, and how. Participants will then learn what an effective cyber security plan is, how to build it, and how to implement it, including policies, training, and what basic security looks like.
