Effective Data Breach Prevention and Response: Practical Tips and Strategies
As the world becomes more digitally connected, the threat of cybercrime continues to alarm organizations across the globe. The number of cybersecurity breaches proliferated in volume and complexity as new and highly sophisticated attacks are launched to target sensitive business data. Thus, regulators are ramping up their efforts to put new laws focused on cybersecurity and data protection. Enforcement activities and legal penalties for individuals carrying out cyber hacks and cybersecurity breaches also continue to intensify.
To keep pace with the shifting landscape, businesses and practitioners must stay in the loop of the latest regulatory developments on data security laws. Moreover, they must create robust data protection programs to safeguard them against data breaches.
In this Webcast, data privacy professionals Nick Holland (Shoosmiths LLP) and Blair Dawson (McDonald Hopkins LLC) will discuss significant updates and issues in data protection. The speakers will also share the best approaches to data breach prevention and response to mitigate cyber incidents.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
