Withum
Provides Cybersecurity Checklist
||
Orlando/Central
FL & Princeton, NJ – May 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Tom Durkee
and Lena Combs, partners overseeing the CPA firm WithumSmith+Brown,
PC (Withum)’s vacation ownership division, say Withum has found the
number of successful cyber attacks in the U.S. has grown 144 percent in
the past four years. In response to the needs of their clients, Withum
has put together a comprehensive checklist to assist them in protecting
themselves.
“Withum has prepared a list
of questions for businesses to use to be better prepared for the possibility
of a cyber attack,” says Durkee.”The questions help executives look at
each aspect of the issue, from the proactive protection of data, to how
to handle the aftermath of an attack.”
“Our timeshare resort clients
now have a tool to use to conduct an effective study of their internal
systems,” says Combs. “For example, the first item on the list asks, ‘Have
you identified (i.e. inventoried) the types of data you store that could
be exposed during a data breach?’ The list drills down to even assisting
with personal inventory.”
There are questions to help
clients walk through their enterprise security plan; to ask if they have
the right team in place; to take a look at functions and technologies available
to protect them and to help review how teams are trained and kept informed.
Contact Durkee or Combs at 407-849-1569 for more information.
