SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Corporate Acquisition\, Insider threats\, or Strategic Investments - All Threats to Consider
DESCRIPTION:Companies have various options for developing their cybersecurity plans. A company can treat all security requirements as being equally likely to occur and having the same impact on the company’s operations and security of information. Alternatively\, a company can assess both the risk of occurrence and potential impact of the occurrence on an item-by-item basis. This webinar will explore the pros and cons of these different approaches\, and review resources that can be used should the risk based approach be selected. \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \n  \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Cyber Friday webinars. \n
