Cyberattacks are on the rise! As reported by Korn Ferry, companies have publicly disclosed approximately 9,500 cyberattacks thru the first half of 2024 and the actual figure is likely much higher since most attacks go unreported.

Cloud-based computing, expansion of artificial intelligence, and a more dispersed workforce all lead to increased opportunities for your organization to become a victim of a cyberattack.

At the first Denver South partnership meeting of 2025, our panel will discuss how cyber criminals access our networks, take advantage of our systems, the ease with which they exploit holes in our technology infrastructure, and what new tactics they may employ in the new year.

Join us on February 6th to learn what your organization can do to be prepared for what’s to come.

We will be joined by the following panelists whose cyber security expertise focuses on aerospace, creation of training programs for the next generation, and technology solutions for the business community.
