“Cybercrime is
on the increase and is here to stay. Piracy can occur at any point in the
digital supply chain and a security breach will lead to significant financial
loss, disrupts roll-out plans and potentially causes lasting damage to a
company’s reputation,” said Gilliat-Smith. “Organizations need to constantly
review the changing threats and budget for the cost of using the proper tools
and protocols to defend against and stay ahead of hackers.”

“Everyone
understands the importance of protecting data, but many organizations are not
fully aware of the nature of the threat, or have comprehensive plans for
meeting the challenge,” said Stephens. “This program will offer a perspective
on the scope of the problem and suggest options that can help organizations
avoid becoming victims.”
