Since 2000, natural disasters have racked up global economic losses of nearly $1.4 trillion and disrupted the lives of billions of people across the globe. Then COVID-19 arrived, overwhelming healthcare systems, causing public health event risks, and requiring a large percentage of employees to work from home. Cyber criminals responded to the pandemic by launching a massive phishing campaign targeting consumers and remote workers. These events – and the trends they represent – signal the emergence of a new kind of threat environment.
Join us on December 3rd to learn how BlackBerry, and our public and private sector clients, are leveraging BlackBerry® AtHoc®’s industry-leading capabilities as a critical event management solution to plan, prepare, and respond to critical events, with enhanced communication strategies and tools for reducing risks and enhancing resiliency when dealing with the unexpected.
Among other topics, presenters Ramon Pinero, BlackBerry Vice President of Services, and Laura Beattie, BlackBerry Director of Global Environment Health and Safety and Enterprise Business Continuity Management, and Cecilia Chong, BlackBerry Technology Business Manager, will discuss:
- How organizations of all sizes can efficiently identify, score, and prioritize business continuity risks and then target investments accordingly
- How to meet duty of care commitments by drawing on the principles and practices utilized by BlackBerry Accountability Officers during the Oxford Street Panic and Hurricane Dorian landfall
- How to optimize resilience by enhancing collaboration between HR, health and safety, incident and crisis management, information security, and business continuity teams
- How our decades of experience managing critical events for ourselves and our clients continues to influence the development of industry best practices and the BlackBerry AtHoc roadmap
