SUMMARY:2023 Pacific Defense Contracting Summit
DESCRIPTION:Find out how $886 Billion in 2024 Defense Spending will translate into military contracting opportunities throughout the Pacific Region by attending the Top Pacific Defense Conference & Expo of 2023! The FY 2024 Defense Budget includes $9.1 Billion in support of the Pacific Deterrence Initiative (PDI)\, a 40% increase from FYI 2023! \nTop Congressional and Department of Defense Leaders consider USINDOPACOM as our most important long-term military theater\, with billions of new dollars being allocated for contracts because of the rapidly escalating threat of Chinese Military Aggression\, along with an unstable North Korea. \nCongressman Rob Wittman (VA-01)\, Vice Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee\, has stated\, “The Chinese Communist Party remains the most pressing threat the United States has faced in 30 years – it is the threat of our lifetime. Beijing’s recent announcement that they will grow their military budget by over 7% this year should serve as a sobering reminder that the CCP is building a world-class military to drive America out of the Pacific.” \nThe U.S. and Australia are also strengthening defense ties and looking to industry for the latest defense services and products. Last week on Capitol Hill\, U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Mara Karlin told lawmakers that the development of new technologies are critical to U.S. Pacific defense and to the defense of Australia. \nTo learn more about our upcoming Defense Contracting Summits\, visit our website for more information: www.usdlf.org

SUMMARY:Cyber Insurance Webinar
DESCRIPTION:According to the IBM 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report the average total cost of a data breach reached an all time high of $4.45 million per incident. Organizations that reported low or no security system complexity experienced an average data breach cost of $3.84 million in 2023. Cloud environments were frequent targets for cyber attackers in 2023. Attackers often gained access to multiple environments\, with 39% of breaches spanning multiple environments and incurring a higher-than-average cost of USD 4.75 million. \nAll this basically means that data breaches are expensive to fix. And many businesses do not survive them. In order to protect yourself and your business\, there are certain things you can to improve your chances of surviving a breach. \nRisk assessment. Perform a risk assessment to understand your organization and what you’re trying to protect.\nBusiness preparation and continuity. Create policies that describe what you will do to reduce your risk and be able to stay in business.\nIncident response. Create a plan for responding to a cyber-attack.\nEmployee training. Make sure your employees understand how to keep your business safe.\nNetwork and website vulnerability identification and management. Perform penetration testing to identify gaps in your information system security and come up with plans to fix them.\nRegular scanning and testing\, including dark web scanning and ethical hacking. Monitor and test your internal and external environments for signs that you may have been compromised.\nCyber insurance policies. Obtain appropriate cyber insurance to help you to prepare for and recover from a cyber incident.\nCyber insurance is a key element of an effective cybersecurity system. It can help to offset the cost of recovering your business when a data breach occurs. Because of the high cost to recovery from a data breach and the increased frequency of cyber-attacks\, the question we all have to ask ourselves is: Can we afford not to have cyber insurance? \nIn this webinar you’ll hear about the key tenets of cyber insurance including: \nWhat is cyber insurance?\nWhat does it do?\nWhat do terms like “third party liability” and “first party loss” mean?\nWhen should you consider buying cyber insurance?\nWhat policy options do you have?\nWhat are your obligations under a cyber insurance policy? \nPresenter\nMark A Smith\, Senior Vice President\, CRC Insurance \nMark is a cyber focused insurance wholesaler\, specializing in cyber since its emergence to prominence in 2007. As head of CRC’s national Cyber Team\, he works closely with many cyber insurers in the development and refinement of cyber policy forms and endorsements. He is a frequent industry speaker\, writer\, and educator on all things cyber.
