Media Financial Management Association’s (MFM) July Distance Learning Webinar “Understanding Cybersecurity” will be held Tuesday, July 23, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. ET. Dale Tuttle, partner and Anurag Sharma, principal at WithumSmith+Brown will discuss the current cybersecurity climate, issues media companies face, and how to deal with them. Cloud infrastructure, best practices in a cloud-based world, and third-party vendor considerations will also be covered.
“Wired Magazine reports that 2019 has already witnessed data breaches and attacks on a U.S. Customs and Border Protection contractor, a number of local governments, industrial manufacturing firms, and the American Medical Collection Agency, to name but a few. Cybersecurity must be a mission-critical issue for all companies today,” said Mary M. Collins, president, and CEO of MFM and BCCA. “Subject matter experts Dale Tuttle and Anurag Sharma live and breathe cybersecurity and will outline issues media companies need to be thinking about now.”
