| Anatomy of a Cyber Attack |
|
|
 The night of January 16th was a wake up call for me as I began to receive calls telling me that our company web server and email service was down.
I found out how easy it is to bring down a company’s online activities. All of our internet communication and presence was disrupted. I have heard of major banks losing their web sites due to an attack, but I didn’t think it would happen to us.
Join the FBI’s InfraGard and the Cloud Security Alliance South Florida chapters as they join forces to present “Anatomy of a Cyber Attack”.
Panelists:
Mauricio Angee, CISO, Mercantile CommerceBank
Dan Farrell, Director of Network Operations, Applied Innovations
Michael Scheidell, President, Security Privateers.
Panel Moderator:
Alex Funkhouser, President, SherlockTech Staffing; President, Cloud Security Alliance – SFL; Certified Member, InfraGard.
