The retail and hospitality sector constantly faces cybersecurity concerns. Security breaches are highly publicized and can change the way a consumer views the organization and brand – years after the breach.
Collaboration within our sector is essential to combat these cyberattacks before they happen. We must come together to share cyber intelligence, best practices, tools, and learn how others battle these constant and evolving threats. The best way for us to do this is to meet in person to tackle what is most important to our industries.
The RH-ISAC is proud to present the 2020 Regional Intelligence Workshops series lineup, sponsored by SpyCloud. This year the RH-ISAC partnered with six member companies to host full-day workshops packed with compelling content delivered by the RH-ISAC, SpyCloud, and leaders in each region.
