The Top 5 Trending Cybersecurity Misconceptions and Actionable Solutions to Combat Them

CHICAGO, May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Think your information is secure now that you migrated to the cloud? Think again. Alpine Security CEO, Christian Espinosa, candidly discussed last week at SecureWorld Kansas City why cybersecurity breaches still happen daily, despite all the latest security tools and compliance requirements, and what we can do about it

Disappointed you missed it? Don't worry, you can catch Christian's SecureWorld PLUS training session, "Cyber Defense Ineffectiveness and What We Can Do About It", at SecureWorld Chicago, June 12, 2019 and at SecureWorld St. Louis, September 18-19, 2019. Be sure to register in advance for a SecureWorld PLUS pass to attend the Chicago session.

Christian will discuss the top 5 common information security misconceptions and what trends are contributing to our cyber defense ineffectiveness, while teaching actionable solutions and tools to approach cyber defense and to create a more secure world. According to Christian, "Ransomware & cyber extortion are effective because organizations blindly implement controls without a risk-based strategy, have poor cybersecurity awareness, and have difficulty determining the validity of 'incriminating data' used for cyber blackmail." Attendees of the training session will be exposed to real-world data gathered from penetration tests, audits, and incident responses; and discover why breaches still happen daily, despite utilizing the latest security tools and maintaining compliance requirements.

Alpine Security is a Bronze level sponsor of SecureWorld Chicago, June 13, 2019. During the cybersecurity conference, Alpine Security will be exhibiting their cybersecurity training and cybersecurity services at Booth: 430.
