Cybersecurity: What the FBI Knows That You Should Too
John Iannarelii, ESQ, CSP, FBI Special Agent (retired) 

In today’s digital landscape, understanding the intricacies of cybersecurity is more crucial than ever. Why would a criminal rob a bank when they can steal far more from the comfort of sitting in front of their computer? Beyond money, cyber thieves are drawn to the sensitive personal information of employees, clients and customers. Furthermore, the rise of remote work and the increasing use of mobile devices have provided cybercriminals with new opportunities to disrupt your business. Each year, millions fall victim to cyber threats simply because they are unaware of how to protect themselves. Hear real examples from actual FBI cases to illustrate how you may be vulnerable to cyberattacks, the specific threats that come with remote work, and the proactive steps you can take to safeguard yourself and your organization. 

Key takeaways: 

  • Understand the cyber vulnerabilities to your business 
  • Learn how to avoid becoming a victim of cybercrime 
  • Know what to do if a cybercriminal attacks
