About This Course

Despite the relentless media coverage of the evolving threat landscape, many businesses continue to ignore the guidance or underestimate the threats and consequences of cyberattacks — effectively gambling with the future of the business.

Don’t make that mistake at your firm.

In this webinar, you’ll get up to speed on cybersecurity basics and compliance mandates as SmartVault CISO and former cybercrime officer Luke Kiely demystifies cybersecurity’s core concepts. You’ll gain a foundation of understanding so you can protect your business.

Delving into compliance, we will discuss its purpose and examine key frameworks and regulations like the FTC Safeguards Rule, NIST, and ISO 27001, alongside the utility of a Written Information Security Program (WISP). Learn practical, foundational security practices including essential software updates, reliable data backup strategies, and how to implement a multi-layered defense-in-depth approach tailored to your business needs.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and practical strategies necessary to enhance your business's resilience against cyber threats, safeguard sensitive information, meet relevant compliance obligations, and build digital trust by effectively integrating people, process, and technology into your security posture.
