Prevention. Preparedness. Protection. Ensure a cyber-resilient organization.
Data breaches and cyber threats, including ransomware attacks, are on the rise across all industries, and there is growing concern about how companies are planning for the escalating risk. As a legal professional or executive whose work involves the protection of information, how confident are you that you have the most up-to-date knowledge and tactics?
As critical as it is, privacy and cybersecurity risk management can feel so overwhelming that many don’t know where to start. Designed to address cybersecurity lapses and other data breach challenges, this OsgoodePD program will give you the latest practical and relevant tactics to help you develop and refine the skills you need to prevent, prepare for and protect against a data breach incident.
Engage with a multidisciplinary faculty of industry experts. Instruction draws from examples of cybersecurity designs, plans, incident responses, insurance policies, and procedures. You will have the opportunity to engage in an interactive case scenario and gain practical experience so that you know how to effectively counter potential threats and actual attacks and learn the questions you need to ask to ensure appropriate prevention measures are in place.
