FEATURED SESSION ON CYBER SECURITY AND RANSOMWARE AT #NAFOAFALL21
NAFOA is excited to bring you a great lineup of education sessions at our 2021 Fall Finance & Tribal Economies Conference. Check out this week’s featured session and learn how to mitigate the risks of a ransomware attack.
Securing Your Tribe’s Cyberspace: Mitigating Ransomware Risk
The pandemic has proven to be a boom for cyber criminals. Ransomware attacks have been plastered all over the news with targets ranging from huge multinational conglomerates and government entities, to small and midsized companies. Employees are spending more time online and often doing so from less secure remote access networks. In this session, our experts will discuss the threats posed by cyber-attacks to Tribal businesses and governments as well as best practices for mitigating these risks.
Register for the Conference today.
