PROVIDENCE – Tech Collective and the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy at Salve Regina University will host a session entitled “Cybersecurity: Why Employee Education Efforts are Critical to your Business” on Friday from 8:30-10:30 a.m.
The event at Tech Collective at 188 Valley St. will include time for networking as well as a Q&A segment, according to organizers.
With companies losing data via phishing and insider threats, the session will give an overview of proper cybersecurity education for employees and how to implement an effective employee-education program with maximum value.
Speakers are Linn Freedman, partner and data-privacy expert at Robinson + Cole, and Matthew Putvinski, of Wolf & Co. A member of the accounting firm’s risk management services practice, Putvinski is also director of Wolf’s information technology assurance services.
Freedman and Putvinski will present case studies and discuss employee engagement as a defense against risk.
Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online.
