Business Impact Analyses\, as they have been performed for decades\, are inadequate. The determination of RTO and RPO may be meaningless in the face of stolen information and ransomware attacks that reflect what business leaders would like to be done rather than what IT can do. Moreover\, new government rules require analysis and disclosure that necessitate an understanding by executive management of what the impact of a cyberattack would be if an attack were to occur. This one-day seminar/workshop\, combining instruction with a hands-on case study\, presents practical methods for understanding the potential impact of cyberattacks\, as the basis for remediation\, reporting and recovery. \nIntended audience: Management and staff in Information Security\, Business Continuity Management\, IT Auditing\, Risk Management\, Finance\, Office of General Counsel. \nRegistration closes on Oct 1 @ 5pm. \nRegister Today!(opens in new tab) \n  \n\n\n\n  \nShare this Event \nIf you are interested\, planning to attend\, or attending this event\, please share with your colleagues across your social media networks. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on X\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on Linkedin\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on Facebook\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on Print\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on Email\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\nEvent Details \n\nDate and Time \n\n\nThe workshop will be held on October 2\, 2026 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. \nAdd this event to your calendar using the Add to Calendar link at the bottom of the page. \n  \n\n\nVirtual Event \n\n\nThe conference will be held using Zoom. \nPrior to the event\, participants must install the Zoom app on their respective devices.
