"I'm delighted to speak to a group that is interested in information security," said Dr. Stahl. "The Target breach demonstrates once again that cybercrime is rampant and a very serious threat to business organizations. The explosive growth in cybercrime requires businesspeople to take action. Speaking to groups like the one at UCLA is why ISSA-LA launched its Community Outreach Program with its emphasis on 'It takes the village to secure the village SM''."
Dr. Stahl will address a group of 130 business professionals enrolled in the UCLA Extension Engineering & Technology Department's leadership and management training program that goes from March 23 through March 28, 2014.
Dr. Stahl will emphasize the unique challenges all commercial organizations face with the epidemic growth of cybercrime, including online bank fraud. He will also discuss basic steps an organization, as well as each individual, can take to lower the risk of being a victim. He will speak about ISSA-LA's work with financial institutions, helping them educate their customers about the dangers of online bank fraud and the steps customers can take to more effectively secure their online banking.
Dr. Stahl will also speak on the cyber security challenges facing nonprofits that often have significant information at risk with inadequate knowledge and resources to properly manage their risk. He always stresses that nonprofits should take an active part in obtaining the resources they need to combat cybercrime.
