Are you struggling to keep the bad guys out of your systems? Do you have questions about cyber preparedness and incident response, either generally or related specifically to the work-from-home restrictions many of us are currently facing? Did you know that a tested incident response plan can reduce the cost of a data breach by $1.23 million?

If you answered yes to either of the first two questions or no to the last one, I encourage you to attend an exclusive webinar happening on Wed., June 17. Three leading experts on cyber preparedness will join our Community members for a special 'Ask Me Anything' session all about incident response.

Register now for the webinar, then take a look at the speakers' areas of interest and expertise in their bios below and post your questions to this thread.
