February 2023 Meeting: Cybersecurity – The Mile-High View for Records and Information Management Professionals with speakers, Elizabeth Khan and Dr. S. M. Loo Co-Hosted with Virtual Coffee
Description: Data security breaches continue to pose real threats to organizations, and with incidents continuing to
trend upward, 2023 will likely be another record-breaking year for data security intrusions. The vast majority are preventable with the adoption of basic security practices, and a robust information cybersecurity program, which is now more than ever a vital component of an information governance (IG) and records and information management (RIM) program. Unfortunately, it is often the case that executives, IG/RIM professionals, and other vital stakeholders are too far removed from cybersecurity processes and initiatives to devote the attention and funding that they require. This paradigm is quickly shifting, however, as information security is increasingly coming to the forefront of organizational priorities. Join Rick Surber and Jennifer Chadband, senior analysts from Zasio’s consulting division, along with guest presenters Elizabeth Khan and Dr. S. M. Loo for a webinar that bridges this divide by providing an overview of modern cybersecurity best practices and standards along with actionable steps to shore up your organization’s security, while providing practical and regulatory context relevant to the RIM/IG industry. Don’t miss BVC ARMA’s first presentation of the year! *Co-hosted in partnership with Zasio Virtual Coffee.
