@BNPartnership Here we go! Set to begin! @BNPartnership #CyberSecurity seminar

@BNPartnership Today's program is called "Unawareness: The current threat landscape for #Cybersecurity" - threats never stay the same, and now is not the time to let your guard down! @BNPartnership

@BNPartnership Since the pandemic, hybrid, working from home became the norm faster than anyone could have imagined. Moving to the Cloud became a necessity but companies need to identify where data is and the controls set in place to protect it.

@BNPartnership The great resignation was a thing. Does your biz have the processes in place to (1) train new employees virtually and (2) capture data from separated employees and their home office computers? @BNPartnership #cybersecurity seminar

@BNPartnership The word of the day is: Procedures. Accounting and business processes may have been in place fro years, or even decades. The shift to the Cloud is a major harbinger to set new definitive procedures for the new work environment to protect company data.

@BNPartnership Our thanks to today's panel:
Liz Benkovich, @BNPartnership, Vice President, Member Engagement & Development
Steve Murphy, Owner, Whiteboard IT
Bill Prohn, Managing Director Dopkins & Company

@BNPartnership RISK: If you have 100 employees, you might have 100 different ways your employees are accessing company data. Procedures and policies are essential.
@BNPartnership #CyberSecurity seminar

@BNPartnership Next topic: discussion of #cybersecurity threats in light of global events

@BNPartnership Best practice: block all traffic from overseas countries your biz does not work with.

@BNPartnership Cybercrime is a crime of opportunity. Take away the vulnerabilities to your organization's data and you dramatically reduce criminal opportunities.

@BNPartnership Security frameworks are becoming the norm. Case in point, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is meant to protect against the theft of intellectual property and sensitive information for Department of Defense Contractors. dopkins.com/services/infor…

@BNPartnership Gosh an hour goes fast - time for Q&A!

@BNPartnership 1st question, is it prudent to increasing IT budgets in today's economy? Doing so may have big payoffs, check out our recent blog on becoming a digital organization: dopkins.com/blog/beyond-di…

@BNPartnership For standardized approach to start a program, start with five core items under the National Institute of Standards and Technology (#NIST) #Cybersecurity Framework:
1⃣Identify.
2⃣Protect.
3⃣Detect.
4⃣Respond.
5⃣Recover.
