Course Overview

Cybersecurity compliance isn’t easy. There are dozens of acronyms and hundreds of controls, and many small business owners find themselves completely overwhelmed. Compliance requirements vary and can be imposed by law, regulatory bodies, and even private industry groups such as the Payment Card Industry.

When organizations think about cyber security compliance, they generally think of a dreaded series of hoops to jump through. However, implementing cyber security compliance can and should be a method by which organizations add value by creating efficiencies while still meeting stakeholder commitments.

Cybersecurity Compliance involves meeting various controls (usually enacted by a regulatory authority, law, or industry group) to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Compliance requirements vary by industry and sector but typically involve using an array of specific organizational processes and technologies to safeguard data.

This course covers the following Major Topics: 

  • Pre- vs Post-Pandemic
  • Verizon 2021: Data Breach Investigations Report – SMB vs. Enterprise
  • The Cost of a Ransomware Attack
  • Threat Scenarios
  • Privacy and Security Laws and Regulations
  • Protecting Your Most Valuable Assets
  • What is cybersecurity?
  • Why care about cybersecurity?
  • How to Implement a Cybersecurity Program
  • Benefits of a Cybersecurity Program

In this CPE Information Technology Webinar, we will discuss the current threat trends in cyber security and how to get started with a properly implemented compliance program that will improve both security and data privacy, all while driving toward your organization’s goals.

You can also register for our approved CPE courses for Certified Information Systems Auditor(CISA) and Certified Information Technology Professional(CITP).
