Bank of Canton sponsors free cybersecurity seminar

Bank of Canton is hosting a free cybersecurity seminar at its corporate headquarters on Monday, June 27, to provide local businesses with tools and resources to combat today’s cyber threats.

The Get Cyber Smart! seminar will feature a panel of cybersecurity experts from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Fusion Center (including the Department of Homeland Security and Massachusetts State Police) and the CERT Insider Threat Center, among others.

Attendees will learn how to increase their security measures, detect insider fraud, and survive the fallout from a cyber attack.

“Our goal with Get Cyber Smart! is to help local businesses with cybersecurity and fraud prevention,” said Stephen P. Costello, president and CEO of Bank of Canton. “We want the businesses and organizations that support our communities to be successful and secure. That’s why we’re providing this special opportunity to learn from some of the state’s top cybersecurity experts, free of charge.”

In 2014, there were over one billion security breaches and instances of identity theft worldwide, with the United States accounting for more than three quarters of them. That equates to 32 cyber crimes every second.

The Get Cyber Smart! seminar will run from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon at Bank of Canton headquarters at 490 Turnpike Street. Seating is limited; RSVP by June 24 (today) by calling 888-828-1690.
