Join HCC and Harvard Alumni for a discussion with moderator and three expert panelists, on Managing Business Risk at Technology’s Edge: Cybersecurity and Biometrics
Tuesday, January 24, 5:00-6:30pm CT
The secret of success, a guru once said, lies in managing risk, not avoiding it. Before you can manage it, though, you need to be aware of it, understand its dangers, and what you can do to mitigate it. This is particularly true of technology risk where small mistakes can have large, even fatal, consequences. Join our expert panel for an in-depth non-technical discussion of two of the most challenging risks facing business today. When you leave, you’ll better understand what you need to do to manage your information risk and the risk of collecting and storing biometric data.
