LOS ANGELES - Aug. 22, 2017 - PRLog -- SecureTheVillage will hold its first annual cybersecurity conference Cybersecure Los Angeles – 2017 on October 19 at UCLA Extension Downtown Campus. The ½-day conference is being co-sponsored by UCLA Extension - Business, Management & Legal Programs. Registration and networking start at 8 with the program getting underway at 9.
"The fear of a security breach is becoming an Executive's worst nightmare," says SecureTheVillage founder and President, Dr. Stan Stahl. Executives know they have to get their arms around this monster, but, too often, they don't know how." he continued. "Executives used to believe they could rely on IT to protect them. But even that's no longer true. Today's attacks come right through the firewall, often carried in emails sent to staff. That's why everyone has a role to play, why we say it takes the village to secure the village."
"We intend to make a difference with Cybersecure Los Angeles – 2017," Dr. Stahl continued.
"Attendees will learn from some of the top experts in the field. Experts in information security management, cyber-insurance, financial services security, attorneys in cyber-law and privacy, and law enforcement, the F.B.I., Secret Service, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office."
"All attendees will receive our brand-new first-of-its-kind Information Security Management and Leadership Resource Kit. The kit is a set of practical "How-to" and "What-is" Guides" that information security managers and leaders can immediately take back to their organization and put into practice."
"The 2nd initiative we're introducing at the conference is a Code of Basic Information Security Management Practices for IT Organizations. It's designed to help CFOs and other executives responsible for IT make sure their IT organization is providing at least the IT security basics, what might be called Security 101."
