Another Security and Compliance Talk in Kelowna - Jan. 14

On January 14 in Kelowna I'm going to be presenting another Security and Compliance Talk. This will be the first time that I'll present such a talk at the excellent Okanagan coLab facility. Thank you to Okanagan coLab for supporting this talk.

This talk will be geared toward professionals, single-person businesses, and small businesses, including startups.  Most of my past business talks were oriented more toward larger organizations, and my talk this month will be much more for organizations with 1 to 10 people.   That size of organization will find my upcoming talk much more concrete and actionable than past ones.

Security and Compliance Talk Start the new decade on a secure foundation

Information security and compliance (including privacy) for your business or organization involves more moving parts than you might think. This talk will provide an overview of the security and compliance space to help you decide which parts your organization needs and how to implement them.

Join us to learn how to secure and protect your business or organization and its information, people, processes, computers, devices, networks, cloud services, etc.

We'll cover this and more:
  • security and privacy threats and resulting risks that your organization faces
  • key measure you can take to mitigate the risks
  • frameworks and resources to help you create and manage your security, compliance, and privacy programs

Security and Compliance Talk on August 20 in Kelowna

On August 20th in Kelowna I'm going to be presenting another Security and Compliance Talk for Businesses & Organizations.   

I received great feedback on my first such talk on April 15 so this second one will be even better, and a bit slower-paced.  It will be oriented more to business people and less to IT experts, but IT folks who are not security experts will still learn a lot.
