Lokx & Fortinet to Speak on 10 Steps to Avoid a Cyber Breach at Free, Virtual Creative Coast Event on October 13th at Noon

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Does your company have an up-to-date and active cybersecurity strategy in place?

You read and hear about the high-profile cyber breaches – Colonial Pipeline, JBS Foods, T-Mobile, AT&T, LinkedIn, Kaseya, Oldsmar (FL) Water Treatment, Microsoft, SolarWinds, et al. However, there are thousands more breaches/events weekly you never hear about because they are not household names. Cybercrime is ever-evolving, and it’s a business emanating from gangs in the nation-states – they go to work every day in tall shiny buildings!

No sector, business segment, or organization size is immune.

Here are some important stats to keep in mind…

• Ransomware attacks alone are up 288% between Q1 and Q2 of 2021 according to NCC Group.
• The insurance industry now ranks cyber incidents as 3rd largest risk globally behind business interruption and the pandemic.
• The harshest of realities is that 60% of small and medium enterprises go out of business within 6 months of a cyber attack.

This Lunchtime Topic will cover…

• The current state of cybersecurity
• Underlying causes of a cyber breach
• How to improve your cybersecurity
• A special giveaway from Lokx & Fortinet
