CYB202 - Why Cybersecurity Matters to Your Organization
The Blinn College District and Texas A&M
Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) Cyber Readiness Center will host a special
lunch and learn event Friday, March 29, designed to show local businesses and
organizations how cybersecurity can impact them.
The lunch and learn event, “Why Cybersecurity Matters
to Your Organization,” will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Student
Center Room F-140 on the Blinn-Bryan Campus.
The presentation, delivered by representatives from
the TEEX Cyber Readiness Center, outlines the basics of cybersecurity,
including:
- What cybersecurity, cyber attacks, and social
engineering are,
- Business and personal impacts of cyber attacks,
- How businesses and organizations can defend
themselves.
Businesses across the nation remain vulnerable to
cyber attack. Research shows that:
- 87 percent do not have a formal written internet
security policy for employees,
- 69 percent lack an informal policy,
- 59 percent do not have a contingency plan
outlining procedures for responding and reporting data breach losses
- 60 percent do not have a privacy policy for use
when handling customer or employee information.
Registration is $10.
