Utility University: Navigating cybersecurity in 2024: Trends, controls and mitigating attacks
October 16 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
The cybersecurity landscape is evolving, and it can feel like your organization is on the defense keeping up with the latest cyber risks, regulations and emerging trends. As we’re seeing in recent headlines, even the most established organizations are subject to cybersecurity attacks. While sophisticated hacking is a valid threat, it’s rarely the root cause of a data breach. To mitigate risk, you must understand your organization’s unique vulnerabilities, cybersecurity processes and controls.
Baker Tilly’s cybersecurity specialists have spent that past year collecting and observing key trends shaping the cybersecurity environment. Now is a good time to review your organization’s controls and assess what improvements can be made to protect your information and the value of your organization. Join us for a webinar for a full breakdown of what organizations need to know about trending risks and how to mitigate them.
