Interhack Presents at Contingency Planners of Ohio (CPO) Annual Conference
Columbus, OH—Interhack Founder C. Matthew Curtin and Sr. Specialist Shawn Sines present “Maintaining Security During a Crisis” at the Contingency Planners of Ohio (CPO) Annual Conference to be held Oct 15-16, 2012, at The Conference Center at OCLC in Dublin, Ohio. The theme of the 2012 Business Survival and Recovery Conference is Standards and Improvements. Mr. Curtin and Mr. Sines discuss the risks of failing to include internal and external information security experts in your response and the value of running drills to establish corporate "muscle memory" during crisis. They also provide tips for ensuring a contingency plan that can stand up to scrutiny when future litigation is a possibility, including sharing case law where resilience response shortcomings led to legal penalties once the crisis passed.
