Cyber threats and attacks are increasing both in numbers and in impact:
$8.2T………Global cost of cybercrime in 2022
$1.75T……..Global cybersecurity spending
4,000………Daily cyberattacks in 2022
Addressing cybersecurity is a reality that organizations constantly face. However, the worst thing executives can do is just trust it is being covered. In the face of ever-growing threats, the best weapon is education.
Sponsored by The University of Tulsa’s Oklahoma Cyber Innovation Institute (OCII) and College of Engineering & Computer Science’s Continuing Education for Science & Engineering (CESE) Department; the upcoming CYBERSECURITY CONVERSATIONS & LUNCHEONS are designed with the goal of raising cyber security awareness and what can be done to help businesses and organizations avoid potential threats and attacks while keeping data safe.
The luncheons will feature presentations to address concerns, answer questions and discuss best practices. They emphasize what everyone needs to know about current key cyber security issues and management…going beyond the latest buzz words and security products and focuses on cyber security’s devastating impact on organizations, vendors, and customers. No longer an exclusive problem entrusted only to the IT department, cyber security now demands the attention of C-Suite Executives, General Counsels, and others advising the organization.
