Data Security, Privacy Issues & Solutions
Brian Tankersley, CPA, CITP, CGMA, K2 Enterprises
Data security and privacy issues continue to plague businesses of all sizes. No matter where you look, the numbers are bad — really bad! But that doesn’t mean you can’t take steps to reduce these risks. In this session, you
will learn about the key security and privacy risks facing businesses today and the steps you can take to mitigate these risks.
This session starts with a review of how cybercriminals attack businesses of all sizes and the related costs of these attacks. From there, you will progress into discussions of practical tools, policies, and other solutions you can use to
mitigate cybersecurity risks to prudently acceptable levels. This is a “must-see” session for all concerned about data security and how to mitigate threats to sensitive and confidential data.
It’s time for a lunch break.

accounts and use them to highlight some of the actions you can take to limit your exposure to similar schemes. Attend this session and learn more about how high-profile control failures occurred so you can be more effective at preventing
crimes such as theft, malware, ransomware, phishing, and hacking.
