Practical Cyber Security Workshop

PR ACTICAL Cyber Security Workshop

In addition to regulatory compliance burdens, financial planners have an ethical duty to protect not just the confidentiality of client information, but also to implement proactive policies and actions that protect the privacy of your clients. Just a sample of some precautions you and your team may already be implementing:  e-mail cautions and staff training before clicking  spam filters, email encryption systems, encrypted file transfer systems  anti-virus software  backup systems  password protocols, specialized password protectors  credit freezes and identity theft services  two-factor authentication  cloud storage solutions  cyber insurance What if this is not enough? What if just by marketing your business you create new vulnerabilities from posting pictures of firm gatherings, your office environment, or your team and their bios? Elio will highlight something most of us still do not understand (redaction), and then sample what is on the horizon. What are some new and surprising vulnerabilities where you leak information that exposes more about you and your clients than you could have imagined? 1. Redaction – did you really? 2. Re-correlation—Posted a picture of a house? Mentioned a mountain? Noted a day or time? How much can someone figure out about you and your life from something so nondescript? 3. Stylometry—How easy is it for someone in Russia to pretend to be you, or pretend to be a client, and send very convincing fake instructions? He will share resources and policies that might keep you ahead of these vulnerabilities and acquaint us with a local cyber security resource too few people know even exists.
