Addressing Insider Threats in Cybersecurity: Bring Us Your Questions!

The Colorado Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel and its Labor & Employment Platinum Sponsor, Fisher Phillips, are proud to bring you a quarterly roundtable/workshop series.

Are you looking for an opportunity to discuss the most difficult labor and employment issues you face on a day-to-day basis? Do you want to engage in an interactive, in-depth discussion with your colleagues about fact-specific scenarios? This is not your run-of-the-mill lecture from a podium providing an employment law 101 overview. In this quarterly “Bring Us Your Questions” Roundtable/Workshop Series, Fisher Phillips attorneys will facilitate an interactive group discussion tackling some of the trickiest labor and employment issues confronting in-house practitioners today.

The IRS recently reported that phishing and malware attacks were up 400% this tax season, and many companies fell victim to these attacks due to human error when employees unwittingly responded to spoofed e-mail messages seeking employees’ financial information. Employees may be your company’s most valuable asset, but when it comes to cybersecurity, they can also be a liability. This seminar will explore the variety of risks posed by company insiders, whether intentional or not, and practical options for assessing and mitigating these risks. Takeaways from this interactive discussion will include:

• A review of the types of security threats employees can pose to companies;
• Available tools to assess your company’s potential exposure to insider threats;
• A list of best practices to implement to protect your organization from potential cyber attacks; and
• Recommendations for policies and practices that can help to protect your company from the loss of confidential and proprietary information.

Added Bonus: We will also address the newly enacted federal trade secret statute, the “Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016.” Employers need to know about this important new legislation and changes it requires to many agreements commonly utilized with employees

Don’t forget to bring us your questions!!

Registration is required. There is no cost to attend this program.
