Internet-based attacks on US corporations are all too commonplace today; they accomplish varied objectives, such as disrupting computer information networks; gaining unauthorized access to systems; realizing economic incentives by accessing credit card information; and stealing critical intellectual property. These attacks are launched by individuals, organizations, and states. Politically-motivated attacks (cyber warfare) are used to disrupt, access, or conduct espionage. Cyber threats, cyber-attacks, cyber terrorism, and cyber warfare can have an adverse effect on corporate profits, public confidence, stock markets, economic/service sectors, and other national critical infrastructures. 
Join The NYC CFO Leadership Council for our first program of 2015, "Cyber Security 2015: Are You Prepared?," where our panel will discuss:
Learning Objectives:
- Understanding what constitutes a Cyber attack and its impact
- How CFO's can determine if their IT infrastructure/websites are best protected to minimize the damage of a Cyber attack
- What to do in the event a CFO/Company determines it has suffered a cyber attack
- What preventative measures can a CFO undertake to best protect his client data and intellectual property
