About the webinar :

In an increasingly inter-connected world, everything is 'smart' and 'connected'.

This, while convenient, makes you 'interesting' to bad actors: as a datum in someone's database, as an individual and as an executive with privileges. Further, every organization & app that you interact with collects information about you and uses that information with varying degrees of sophistication & security. They do this to better serve you when you are a customer and to better target you if you are not, in order to make you a customer. Additionally, as an individual, your own information and wealth can be targeted for exploitation and your access & execution rights in your organization make you a valuable target to penetrate and exploit. So, being cybersecurity savvy is an essential skill. Finally, if you run an organization of any kind, then your company is automatically a target for cybercriminals for both its own information, IP etc and for the wealth of information that it possesses about its customers.

This short discussion will give you a primer on
- What is a cyber threat and the dimensions of the problem
- What are the different kinds of attacks
- What you should & should not do - as a person
- What you should & should not do - as an organization
