Cybersecurity and employee benefit plans: Are you at risk?

EVENT OVERVIEW

Cybersecurity and employee benefit plans: Are you at risk?

The oft-repeated adage in the cybersecurity world is that suffering a data security incident is not a question of “if,” but rather a question of “when.” No industry is immune from the risks posed by cyber criminals. Employee benefit plans are attractive to these criminals and can be compromised in any number of ways. Plan sponsors, administrators, and fiduciaries have unique responsibilities to prevent, mitigate and respond to cybersecurity incidents. Please join McDonald Hopkins on Wednesday, July 17 for a Business Hour that will detail the unique challenges facing employee benefit plans. 

TOPICS

Participants will learn about the following:

• The biggest threats facing employee benefit plans, including: ransomware attacks, phishing attacks, spoofing incidents, and employee theft of data and misconduct;
• The costs of remediating security incidents;
•  How to respond to a security incident, including: who to call, how to manage internal and external communications, and when to involved law enforcement; and
•  Best practices for cybersecurity to prevent incidents from occurring.
