London,
UK -- Mr. Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and Knightmare
on Wall Street, is addressing senior government officials and
executives from Europe and Asia at the 3-Day Masterclass in
Cybersecurity organized by Terrapinn Training in London and Dubai.
Perez is a well-known international futurist and cyber keynote
speaker who currently offers Cybersecurity
Due Diligence and Awareness Training
services for Fortune 500 firms and private equity groups.
As
information technology becomes ever more complex and Internet usage
increasingly widespread, cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly
important and business-critical field. Unfortunately, most
organizations are not prepared to handle cybersecurity threats. In
fact, 66% of IT and security professionals say that their firms are
unprepared to recover from a cyberattack. A key example of this
unpreparedness is the fact that many of the companies impacted by the
recent WannaCry attack didn't install critical updates into their
Windows infrastructure that had been released by Microsoft back in
March.
Perez's
workshops bring CEOs, board members and top executives up to speed on
the most recent and battle-tested approaches to protect their
companies' valuable information and intellectual property from prying
eyes of hackers and competitors, and leverage their cyber success in
both cultivating stronger relationships with current and new clients
and safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders, partners and
employees.
Perez,
author of Knightmare
on Wall Street and The
Speed Traders, is a recognized futurist, keynote
speaker and director of programs targeted at board members, chief
executive officers and senior executives looking for new ways to gain
and maintain a competitive business advantage.
