Description:
Social, business and governmental response at scale to COVID-19 is unprecedented in the field of information security. Business Continuity Plans and Pandemic Plans are being activated. Organizational shifts to a remote workforce are ripe for social engineering attacks, phishing and attacks targeting work from home environments. Budgets everywhere are being put under pressure. Yet the expectation to effectively defend the organization remains constant, even in light of increased risk. How are organizations shifting their approach with staff, training, vendors and technology?
Join Portland ISSA for a panel discussion on strategic responses to COVID-19.
Note: Due to the ongoing lock down restrictions in Oregon, this will be a virtual chapter meeting. Pricing for attendance has been reduced.
