Nearly 300 people from business and agencies
across the nation registered for the 75 minute webinar broadcast on
April 25th and May 2nd of 2013 by Enterprise
Risk Management (ERM). The webinar was designed to alert businesses
to the potential risk of system weaknesses towards breaches,
according to Silka Gonzalez, founder and president of the Cyber
Security firm based in Miami, Florida.
The webinar’s “Hacking: Security Breaches
Dissected” used case studies to demonstrate the ease with which
hackers can access customer or client information, and outlined the
kinds of financial harm that breaches can cause to businesses and
organizations. These include negative PR and loss of revenue from
customers; loss of data and intellectual property, to potential
litigation and significant fines levied by a wide variety of
regulatory agencies that place the burden for compliance and security
on cybercrime victims.
Webinar participant Minh Vo, Senior Technical
Support Specialist with Dallas Area Rapid Transit, found the
presentation to be excellent. “The presenter was very knowledgeable
and the information was both good and useful,” said Vo.
Gonzalez, who has worked in Cyber Security for
more than 25 years, says it pays to be preventative. Local and
multinational firms from banks to hospitals to non-profit
organizations hire the 15-year-old company to help them identify,
prevent, and control cybercrime.
“We test our clients’ systems to uncover
and remedy a wide range of cyber security weaknesses, and we advise
them on the full range of security and compliance matters,”
Gonzalez said.
ERM has scheduled a webinar on “Security in
the Cloud.” for later this month, and in July will present a
webinar for Law Firms. For details visit www.emrisk.com
