Cybersecurity for Your Tax Practice FLEXCAST

Overview

You may have already experienced a cybersecurity breach and not even be aware of it. According to the Ponemon Institute report, on average it takes firms 212 days to discover their business was hacked. Statistics highlight that we are more likely to experience a data breach than we are to catch the flu. The question is, not if, but when you will be targeted. This webcast CPE course addresses scams, threats, prevention, data security requirements and steps to take in the aftermath of a breach.
