    Topic: Managing 2023 Cyber Risks and Beyond Using Dynamic Risk Management

    On Tuesday, April 11th, please join ATIP Chicago for a powerful and important one-hour webinar where industry leader and expert – Laszlo S. Gonc, CISSP, DDN QTE – shares his knowledge on “Managing 2023 Cyber Risks and Beyond Using Dynamic Risk Management.”

    Data breaches and cyber extortion are all too common, an almost daily occurrence. Cybersecurity threats are increasing and rapidly evolving, jeopardizing our everyday life – the way we conduct business, connect and share with our family and friends, even potentially endangering our own health care.

    Experts estimate a ransomware attack took place every 11 seconds in 2021. In fact, about 60% of small and medium-sized businesses close within 6 months of falling victim to a major cyberattack.

    Laszlo will share his current insights into today’s critical cyber risks and the quickly growing cyber threats of tomorrow. He will share with us an adaptable risk framework for mitigating both technology and cyber risks despite the ever-changing landscape – Dynamic Risk Management.

    You will find this indispensable and essential educational session filled with immediate and actionable take-aways to assist you and your business in these challenging times. If you are a technology professional, business owner, senior leader or board director, this is a MUST attend event.

    During this VIRTUAL session with Laszlo Gonc, CEO of Next Era Transformation Group, you will learn:

    • the top 3 major consumer drivers creating technology and cyber risks,
    • the top 10 cybersecurity threats for 2023 and beyond,
    • the 3 key core components of Dynamic Risk Management,
    • the 5 vital actions to build a Dynamic Risk Management Program, and
    • the 4 critical questions to ask in establishing Dynamic Risk Governance for your organization.

    Please join us for this highly informative session as Laszlo shares his insights and navigates for us the continually evolving and threatening cyber landscape of the future.
