Cyber Incident Response – Lessons Learned from the Trenches
Presenter: Matt Meade and Laura Decker Eckert Seaman Cherin and Mellott, LLC
It seems that almost every day we hear reports of another data breach impacting county government. Ransomware attacks and business email compromises continue to cause significant losses of time, productivity and money for government agencies. Data breaches are often the result of an escalating series of failures which include lack of monitoring, lack of preparation, lack of adequate employee training designed to increase awareness of risky behavior and incomplete or non-existent evaluations and protections involving vendors and other third parties who receive or have access to valuable data. Through a series of hypothetical incidents participants will work through the twists and turns of several data security incidents. In this practical and interactive session, participants will: (1) receive tips for increasing organizational awareness of cybersecurity risks; (2) examine the challenges of managing and responding to a cyber incident; (3) gain a high-level understanding of breach notification laws; and (4) learn about best practices to create a culture of cyber awareness.
Water Safety: Employees Working on, in or Near Water
Presented by Julie Waller, Senior Risk Control Consultant, Alliant Insurance Services, Inc.
Do you have employees, contractors or consultants working on behalf of your organization that work on, in, or near water? In this session, we will discuss the risks of working on, in, or near water, whether individuals are mowing grass, taking water samples, or working at or around a body of water (pond, river, stream, lake, ocean, etc.), employers are responsible to conduct a risk assessment and ensure employees are aware of workplace hazards, and employers must effectively manage the risks. Further, employers must be issued required PPE based on workplace exposures, and employees must be trained. Join us for this very informative session!
