Upcoming Webinar
Topic: Cyber Risks: Is your data retention program helping or hurting?
Date: October 5, 2022 12:00pm-1:00pm
Speakers: Kathryn M. Rattigan and Jim Merrifield
About the presentation
Large scale data breaches continue to occur and affect organizations across all industries. One critical aspect of your organization’s cybersecurity strategy should include a robust data retention and destruction program. Data retention programs outline what types of data are actively being stored, how long that data should be stored, and how it should be destroyed at the end of the designated period, barring any legal holds or other obligations. Part of the reason for a retention program to be included in your cybersecurity strategy is that if you are a victim of a cyber attack and you are retaining lots and lots of old data, it only increases the risk and costs associated with a breach -the more data you house, the more legal obligations you are likely to have in the event of an incident. By periodically assessing and revising your retention program, your organization could reduce risk and cut costs. Essentially, the less data you retain on servers (or in storage rooms or facilities), the more able you are to manage and secure that data.
During this program, we will discuss:
- Current Cyber Risks
- Industries at Risk
- Statistics on Cyber Attacks
- What is a data retention schedule?
- Sources of data retention standards
- Data Minimization
- Data Retention
- Data Disposal
The program will be followed by a questions and answers session.
