Security and Privacy Event at E&Y
I interviewed for a consulting position that resulted in an invitation to an event being held at Ernst & Young, April 20th. I attended the event and found it heavily focused on Cyber-Security and the risks involved, both today and in the future. Protiviti was the featured presenter. The information was for real world professionals: they covered issues with governmental regulations and best practices for security and privacy. One of the most interesting topics was that most data breaches come via an organization’s partnership with third-party suppliers. Target, for instance, had a major data breach, but it was caused by one of their third-party suppliers. Protiviti urged everyone to create new policies in how to manage all third-parties. The event gave me a peek into my future, when I’ll be a professional and peer to those that attended.
