Information Security Forum to Discuss Hackers and Global Cybercrime Threats in Upcoming Webinar

NEW YORK - June 2, 2015 - PRLog -- According to the Information Security Forum (http://www.securityforum.org/) (ISF), a global, independent information security body considered the world's leading authority on cyber security and information risk management, organizations are struggling to cope with the quantum speed and sophistication of global attacks being carried out by organized cyber-criminal syndicates. Moving forward, businesses of all sizes need to prepare to be targeted at any time, and any place, by multiple assailants.

Criminal organizations have become more sophisticated, mature and are migrating their activities online at greater pace. They are beginning to develop complex hierarchies, partnerships and collaborations that mimic large private sector organizations and are taking their activities worldwide. They are also basing their operations where political and law enforcement structures are weak and malleable, and where they can conduct their activities relatively undisturbed. This is forcing domestic organizations to adapt their security strategies and fortify their internal business operations. Organizations that wish to keep pace with these developments, and remain financially viable, will need to take action now.

During this webcast, Steve Durbin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevedurbin), Managing Director of the ISF, will share guidance and tips on how organizations can identify and protect the areas of their business that could be impacted by cybercrime activity. Please register via this link (https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/9923/140645) for the free webcast which takes place on Tuesday, June 9 at 9 a.m. (ET). A recording will be available following the conclusion of the event.
