This presentation is designed to address information security risk as part of organizational program management, and to raise program and project manager awareness of common data security concerns in today’s data-driven companies.

It will examine methods and techniques used to steal data and information and discuss the issues and implications of such acts. We will share some real-life examples of cyberattacks and data leaks, and provide a clear understanding of risks, current defenses and best-practice approaches.
