Cyber-Crime: What Every Business and Consumer Should Know

Cyber security is the modern challenge facing our country. In 2015, McAfee estimates that cybercrime costs the global economy $445 billion. Over 200,000 jobs were lost to cyber-crime in the US and over 150,000 in Europe. Cyber criminals are not only becoming more sophisticated they are also becoming more organized. This event is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for business leaders and individuals to get the latest information on cyber-crime and learn what companies we know and deal with on a daily basis are doing about it.
