Post Conducts Cybersecurity Program
The Post conducted a cybersecurity workshop and luncheon on May 15, 2019. Each day, our world becomes more and more interconnected through increased apps usage on mobile devices and storing more of our data in “the cloud.” With all the resulting benefits and efficiencies come an increasing amount of Cyber related threats – loss of intellectual property, compromise of employee PII, insider threats and ransomware to name a few. This topic was very relevant as Baltimore City experiences a cyber attack. As the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction industries all leverage new technology to conduct business, especially when working with the Government, the need for more awareness and protection is critical more than ever.
The program covered several main topics, including:
- Overview of the state of ‘cyber’ within the ‘AEC’ industries, and how each company can protect themselves. Covered topics include: trends, recent attacks, data breaches, and new, ever-evolving threats that could have significant legal or financials impacts to any organization
- Recent important updates to DoD Cybersecurity Compliance Standards with regards to DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement).
- Buy Maryland Cybersecurity (BMC) Tax Credit. We will detail the new tax credit that is designed to promote the cybersecurity industry in Maryland, while protecting business owners located in MD
Special thanks to our workshop speakers, Brian Ray and Michael W. Jackson of Hertzbach, and to Randy Westfall for organizing the event!
