CPE PLUS: WISP – Your Blueprint for Cyber Defense

Overview

They are coming after your firm, your data, and your clients. They’ll steal your information (and your clients’) and hold your computer system for ransom. And it does not matter how big or small your firm is – you are their target. “They” are cyber criminals, equipped with the most sophisticated penetrative software, ransomware, and misdirection techniques ever created. 

Your defense against cybercriminals begins with a Written Information Security Plan (WISP), a document that lays the groundwork for a multi-layered shield to help thwart cyber intruders. A WISP is not just a good idea, it is required by cyber laws in all 50 states and many foreign jurisdictions. 

Konrad Martin, founder and CEO of Tech Advisors, Inc. – and a former CPA – has developed hundreds of WISPs for accounting firms and other professional services organizations. He knows what needs to be a WISP to comply with regulations, and how to move from the plans to an active defense. In this information-packed one-hour webinar, Konrad will offer actionable guidance on:
