Given the massive increase in the volume and the scale of cyberattacks in recent years, it’s no surprise that cybercriminals are redoubling their efforts to target those who have the most power. World leaders in every nation are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks, imperiling themselves and the people they represent.
Join BlackBerry Senior VP and CISO, John McClurg, for our new webinar 'Securing Our Democracy' on October 21st. John will share insights on how AI-driven predictive threat detection will keep you ahead of sophisticated cyber attacks from state-sponsored and financially motivated groups.
Topics will include:
- How our top elected officials are exposing themselves to Business Email Compromise (BEC) and what can be done;
- Why politicians make attractive targets for threat actors;
- The role mobile devices, hectic schedules, and muscle-memory in play in successful cyberattacks;
- How DMARC, MFA and AI can turn the tide back in favor of democracy.
This webinar is a must-attend for anyone concerned about the ways that threat actors are profiting from exploiting the representatives and citizens of the world’s democracies.
