BrandProtect™ to Advise on Cybercrime Detection and Mitigation at CFP's Enterprise Risk Management Event


TORONTO --(Business Wire)--

BrandProtect, an expert in Internet risk detection and threat mitigation, today announced that Michael Kiefer, the company's general manager, will be a panelist at the Center for Financial Professionals' (CFP) third annual Enterprise Risk Management event. Kiefer will join a cybercrime discussion, "Determining the Exposure to Cyber Attacks and Implementing Effective Safe Guards," taking place at 4:30 p.m. EST on December 3, 2014 in New York City.

With today's increasingly sophisticated cybercrime landscape, having an online presence makes any brand a target for online risk. While companies often prioritize security to hinder hackers from entering through their enterprise networks and IT systems, they don't invest nearly as much as they should in monitoring other online threats. Scammers are constantly looking for new ways - including social media and third-party mobile apps - to get in front of a brand's customers, steal their information under the pretense of the official brand's identity, and significantly damage its reputation and business.

During this session, Kiefer's panel will explore how brands can monitor for, identify and manage potential online threats, and measure and analyze Internet risks that have been identified. Alongside Craig Spielmann, head of operational risk at RBS Americas, Kiefer will further detail the impact of cyber threats and enterprise risk monitoring, particularly within the financial sector.
