HR's Role In Cyber Security

When it comes to protecting your organization from malware, phishing, and other cyber security risks, one of your greatest exposures comes from YOUR OWN employees. And it's usually not even intentional! In fact, human error accounts for over 90% of cyber security breaches according to an IBM study. That's why effective human resource management and practices can reduce your exposure.

Presenters for this webinar series were Paul Banuski, our in-house Human Resources Consultant, and our own Vice-President of Risk Management and Operations, Tony D'Amato.
