National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

A Practical Approach to Managing and Reducing Cyber Risks

On the occasion of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month -- an annual campaign to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity, AMICA Insurance in cooperation with the Pell Center at Salve Regina University and the Rhode Island Society of Certified Public Accountants (RISCPA) invites you to attend a special session:

"A Practical Approach to Managing and Reducing Cyber Risks "

Cyber risk is an underrated but all too real threat to organizations of every size, industry, and sector. Whatever your place of business, creating a culture of cybersecurity is an essential shared responsibility among leadership and all employees. Organizations must view cybersecurity as an enterprise-wide risk issue and devise plans for employee education, training and awareness that emphasize risk management, security, and resilience.

This seminar will provide an overview of both the opportunities and threats of doing business in an era of hyper-mobility and hyper-connectivity, and address different approaches to improve the overall security posture of any organization operating in the digital age.

The event will feature special remarks by Congressman Jim Langevin (D-RI), Chairman of the US Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus.

NOTE: CPAs will need to provide their CPE credit license number in the registration form in order to obtain credits for this seminar.
