Recent ransomware attacks and security breaches have understandably brought cybersecurity to the forefront of many conversations. However, organizations shouldn’t focus solely on defending their infrastructure; data and business operations must be protected too.

Defending against cyberattacks is important, but it’s equally critical to develop a system that minimizes vulnerability and prepares your organization for recovery in the event of disaster.

We’ll be joined for this week’s CDW Tech Talk webcast by Joe Vidal, master technologist at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, who will discuss the benefits of having a business continuity strategy and what kind of measures companies can take to minimize downtime in the event of an attack.

We’ll also be joined by Ruben Chacon, vice president of technology and CISO at CDW, to talk about some of the data protection tools organizations can implement to mitigate risk.
