Are You Prepared for a Cyber Attack?

McDonald Hopkins will host a data privacy Business Hour – “Somewhat prepared is NOT prepared” – featuring Special Agent Justin Root from the Office of Ohio Attorney General’s Cyber Crimes Unit.

The event will be on June 30, 2015, from 12-1 p.m. EDT at the company’s Cleveland office, and will also be broadcast live via webcast for those who cannot attend in person.

McDonald Hopkins’ 2015 Business Outlook Survey revealed that 70 percent of organizations believe they are only “somewhat prepared” for data privacy and cybersecurity hazards.

“Somewhat prepared” is not enough to combat the privacy threats and expectations of regulators.

Topics of discussion will include: creating a culture of privacy and security, assembling a team and plan for effective incident response, crafting a WISP, conducting a Breach Response Workshop, and more.
