Learning Objectives

  • Identify the definition and key types of data breaches.
  • Explain how criminals commit and execute data breach attacks.
  • Analyze why criminals steal data and how they monetize it.
  • Discuss legal ramifications and reporting consequences after a data breach.
  • Explore practical steps to protect your organization from data breaches.

Course Overview

Data breaches are no longer a “big company” problem. If you read the news, you have seen how quickly a single incident can disrupt operations, damage trust, and trigger costly follow-up work for finance and audit teams. This CPE course breaks down what a data breach is, why it happens, and where organizations are most exposed in 2026.

You will explore common breach methods and the real motives behind data theft, including fraud and cybercrime. We will also discuss the legal and ethical consequences organizations may face after an incident, along with the practical steps that reduce risk before trouble hits. Real-world examples help connect the concepts to what professionals see in audits, accounting operations, and internal control reviews.

Major Topics:

  • Data breach threat landscape
  • Cyber fraud and motives
  • Legal and ethical exposure
  • Policies and procedures design
  • Internal controls and safeguards

You will walk away with a practical checklist for spotting breach risk early, tightening internal controls, and responding with confidence if an incident occurs. If you support accounting, audit, or finance operations, this CPE course will help you reduce exposure and protect the data your stakeholders rely on. Join to turn “cyber risk” into clear, actionable steps.
