Cybersecurity: What do Accountants Really Need to Know? Webinar

EVENT DESCRIPTION

While the advances in technology create efficiency, the massive amount of sensitive information which is stored online proliferates our risk of a data breach. Our information is increasingly vulnerable and we are in the precarious spot of having our business and personal data exposed— whether we like it or not. However, attempts to regulate activities on the internet through territorial jurisdiction will be problematic because cyberspace and e-commerce are inherently international.
