Defending Your Digital Frontier: Navigating Cyber Risks for Business Success!
BC Housing: 1.5 CPD Points
Description
Construction had another rough year in 2023 dealing with cybercrime. According to a study by encryption software firm NordLocker, construction ranked as the top industry target for cyberattacks in two of the past three years.
On average a Canadian business sees 40 cyber-attacks each year. When cyber attacks like data breaches and hacks occur, they can result in devastating damage. That type of event could mean the loss of your database, your contracts, your proposals, or your business operations, meaning business disruptions, lost revenue, and litigation. With the increasing reliance on technology, the risks you expose your business to increase as well!
Cyber exposures aren’t going away and, in fact, continue to escalate. It is important to remember that no organization is immune to the impact of cybercrime. Protecting your digital assets should be a number one priority. Businesses need to be prepared in the event that a cyber attack strikes.
This free 1.5-hour session will cover:
- Data breach coverage
- Business interruption loss reimbursement
- Cyber extortion defense
- Legal support
- Cyber liability insurance
Join us and Nikki C. Keith, Principal at Wilson M. Beck Insurance Services Inc., to learn more about how you can plan and protect yourself.
