Your organization faces threats from outside and from within - corporate spies, foreign governments, common thieves, disgruntled employees, as well as terrorists or other violent actors. Some or all of them can put at risk your facilities, your people, and your information.

Social engineering testing is an effective - and often dramatic - means of demonstrating how your organization stands up to these threats. By putting your organization to the test in a real-time scenario, you can use social engineering testing to give your organization the information and training you need fix the weaknesses that leave you vulnerable. Social engineering combines both technical and non-technical tests to identify how aware your organization is and if the “mentality” of security is deep-rooted within your organization.

Join ERM for this webinar where we will explore specific threats and discuss how you can use both technical and non-technical social engineering testing to improve your organization’s security.

Fraud Threat Intelligence - Protecting Your Organization From Fraud

Date: Thursday, October 31, 2013

Time: 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern

Topic: Fraud Threat Intelligence - Protecting Your Organization From Fraud

CPE Credits: A certificate of completion will be provided upon request to those attendees that require the event to count for CPE credits.

When people consider fraud protection, very few think of watching their brand. Most fraud is considered to occur at the transaction level, and when dealing with financial loss this would true. But what if the gains were not tied directly to money? What if you can prevent fraud in the inception stages? What if you had a way to identify becoming a direct target?

We are not talking about the random malware attack, or the commodity Phishing that by chance captures some of your customers account credentials. We are talking about someone who has targeted your institution, your brand, or your customers and is using it for their personal advantage. This happens every day - you need to know what can be done about it. Fake websites, mobile applications, blogs, social media, and advertising can all be masked to insinuate associations and credibility with a brand name, image, or company profile. Being aware of these fake sites helps protect your customers from providing their credentials to harvesters, redirected to watering holes or black holes, stop attrition from redirecting traffic, and ensures a positive online sentiment for your branded items.

As part of a comprehensive, total fraud protection platform, you must engage fraud activity at multiple levels. Fraud Threat Intelligence is a tool used by many companies to help proactively identify, close, or remove the threats that risk brand reputation. Brand Threat Intelligence scrubs the internet for these malicious activities, while Special Operation Centers have dedicated analysts who visit underground forums, and hacker information sharing sites that sell data associated with brand related theft.

Join ERM for this webinar where our trusted partner, Easy Solutions, will show you how you can give yourself an advantage, take proactive steps to retain or remove this information from the internet, make yourself a harder target than the competition, and keep your brand, and more importantly your customers, safe and confident in using your brand online.

Security Breaches - How To Respond

Date: Thursday, September 26, 2013

Time: 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM Eastern

Topic: Security Breaches - How To Respond

CPE Credits: A certificate of completion will be provided upon request to those attendees that require the event to count for CPE credits.

Information Security Breaches are everywhere. No matter what industry your business belongs to, cyber-security breaches and information theft is rampant and omnipresent. Organizations today need to know how to defend themselves against cyber-attacks and data leaks – defense is the best offense in today’s trying times.

News stories report information security breaches on a daily basis.  Even the biggest names in business haven’t been spared.  To complicate matters, attacks are increasingly originating from outside the U.S. and the countries of origin often don’t crack down on cyber-crime as diligently as victim businesses would expect.  The laws governing these countries and their interpretations further obfuscate the resolution process while the affected business faces an endless wait for answers.

A security breach holds serious consequences for your business.  If a security breach were to compromise your customer information, your business could face some serious regulatory ramifications and some very bad press – when combined could potentially put you out of business.

While security breaches are sometimes considered “inevitable”, they don’t have to be.  No matter what your industry, join ERM for this webinar where we will show you how to protect your business from cyber-attacks, security breaches, and data leaks; and how to respond to security breaches.

Universities and Schools under cyberattack: How to Protect your Institution of Excellence - Webinar

Date: Wednesday, August 28, 2013

Time: 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM Eastern

Industry: Education

Topic: Universities and Schools under cyberattack: How to Protect your Institution of Excellence

CPE Credits: A certificate of completion will be provided upon request to those attendees that require the event to count for CPE credits.

The New York Times recently reported that universities face a rising barrage of cyberattacks.  University officials even acknowledge that they often do not learn of cyber break-ins until much later, if ever, and that even after discovering the breaches they may not be able to tell what was taken.  Recent cyber-threats have also targeted schools and entire school districts, in some cases.

Universities in the U.S. are undeniably the coveted innovation centers of the world where the best minds converge to bring cutting-edge inventions and innovations to the fore.  Being targets of cyberattacks is obviously not doing any favors to the solid brand and reputation that U.S. universities have worked hard to build over the years.

Schools and educational institutions too have established a long-standing reputation of being centers of learning and excellence for young minds who will go on to shape our futures.

But the information security challenges faced by universities, schools, and educational institutions are very different from those faced by typical corporations.

The very nature and tenet of a university’s success is based on the free flow of information, open collaboration across borders, and thinkers of an international scale coming together to exchange ideas and learn.  Schools and educational institutions face a slightly different set of challenges in that their students are a lot younger and potentially looked upon as easier targets.

If you represent a university, school, or educational institution and have either faced or are concerned about facing a cyberattack, join ERM for this webinar where we will discuss what you can do to protect your center of excellence from becoming a vulnerable target for hackers.
