Cancelled: Tech Forum on Cyber Security (Be Afraid!)

THIS MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
IT WILL BE RESCHEDULED FOR EARLY 2016.  

Construction Technology Forum
Focus on Cyber Security
Wednesday, December 2, 2015
AGC Georgia Training Center

Recent Construction Technology Forums focused on delivering new ideas and proven best practices to employees of construction firms. Our next program is for all business leaders! Too often, we work to protect against “known” threats; those seen and heard about on a frequent basis. This practice isn’t enough in today’s business climate. Lesser known threats, such as cyber hacks are just as destructive and crippling as equipment theft or weather-related disasters.

Just as you can’t protect yourself 100% from physical harm, there are ways you can make yourself less susceptible to injury. The same is true for your company’s vulnerability to cyber-attacks. Do you have all the holes in your system locked? Are you educating employees on the latest cyber threats and what to look for in their email and software installs? Have you talked with your insurance agent about possible products you can add to your policies for baseline protection?

Members who had traditional stopgaps in place will share their clean up experience. IT professionals hired to help companies defend their intellectual property will also share best practices for today’s threats. Learn about emerging tricks the attackers are using and how to build a pro-active cyber security culture at your firm.

Who Attends? These programs attract a cross-section of professionals. Many are IT directors and project managers, others have a personal interest in technology, while many from smaller offices are tapped as the designated IT guru but have no background in the field! When this mix of professionals comes together, the conversation results in a valuable information exchange of best practices and lessons learned.
