Description

Ret. Col. Cedric Leighton to give an up-to-the-minute perspective on the unexpected risks and threats to Utah businesses Have you heard this one? “There are two kinds of businesses, those that have been breached and those who don’t know they’ve been breached.” To help Utah businesses minimize cyber risk in the global marketplace, Bank of Utah is hosting its annual Fall Speaker Events, Sept. 26 – 27 from Logan to Lehi, featuring former U. S. Air Force Intelligence Officer Ret. Col. Cedric Leighton. He is currently a CNN Military Analyst and the chairman of his own global strategic risk consultancy. “With the advent of the ‘Internet of Things,’ everyone and every business is at some degree of risk for compromised data,” said Leighton. “When you’re connected online, your suppliers’ lack of cyber security can impact yours. Big things happening around the world can put your business at risk as well. I’m very excited to come to Utah and give business leaders an overview of how to strategically minimize their risk. You can’t fix vulnerabilities without first knowing the threats that exist in the business world. The cyber world and the real world are now interchangeable.” Bank of Utah’s Fall Speaker Event is open to business leaders and pre-registration is required. Seating is limited.
