BBB: Insecurity in a Digital World

The Better Business Bureau Foundation is pleased to present a free program for businesses about the Internet of Things (IoT), the “Dark Web” and Data Breaches.

Small and medium businesses face cyber-risks on a daily basis, but their business models were designed to focus on their core competency – not cyber. However, innovative technologies are taking all of us into the cyber realm, and it seems like a day doesn’t go by when there isn’t a new headline screaming about the latest data breach or application vulnerability. Cyber awareness doesn’t have to be overwhelming; it just takes a little bit of education and planning. This program will explain how cutting edge technologies can be understood and strengthened.

The keynote speaker is Diana Kelley, a cybersecurity thought leader, practitioner, executive advisor, speaker, author and co-founder of SecurityCurve. Before coming to Microsoft, where she is currently employed, Diana was the Global Executive Security Advisor at IBM Security and built and managed the IBM Security Research Community Newsroom. She has leveraged her 25+ years of cyber risk and security experience to provide advice and guidance to some of the world’s largest companies. She appears frequently in media as a cybersecurity expert, including: NY Times, WSJ, Time, WGBH, WNBC, MSNBC, and Fox News.

This BBB event will take place on Tuesday, October 31st from 8-10 a.m. at UNO College of Business – Mammel Hall, located at 6708 Pine Street. Continental breakfast is included (8-8:30 a.m.). Please RSVP by October 25th to jniebaum@bbbinc.org.
