Business Fraud and Cybersecurity Best Practices in the Office or While Working Remotely

February 17, 2022

As the nation and the world adapted to the coronavirus pandemic, businesses became accustomed to employees working from home. Even as the states reopened from the mandated “lockdown”, many companies and employees alike found advantages to working remotely. Today, we live in a world where the hybrid of in-office work and remote work from home is the “new” normal. Home computers or other remote locations are more vulnerable than ever to cyber-attacks. Organizations need to build people-centric cybersecurity strategies to protect against business email compromises or email account compromises. Increasingly risky websites are being transmitted through corporate emails. The speaker will discuss some of the newest trends in cyberattacks which are continually evolving and growing. Ransomware can hit in seconds. Credit card use is higher than ever, and some cyber-crime groups live to target payment card information. This program has been designed to offer real-life examples and practical steps which may be taken to thwart business-fraud and cyber-crime.

Utilizing the tools available to you can safeguard your company from a bad debt exposure in the future even if your customer files for chapter 11 protection.  Credit grantors will also want to insulate themselves from a potential preference attack in a future Chapter 11 proceeding.
