We are well into March Madness ... and Happy St. Patrick's
Day!
You may have already had your bracket busted by now.....but you
should have Mintz Levin's
Third Annual Employment Law Summit on your schedule and the
panel on Cybersecurity and Employee Data Breaches may help you
avoid a security incident/personal data buster.
Teamwork is a key to advancing in the Big Dance and HR and IT
could make a powerful team in fighting cybersecurity risks in your
company. Just because cybersecurity threats affect cyberspace does
not take the human element out of the prevention/mitigation loop.
And the Luck of the Irish has nothing to do with it......
Even though IT plays the role of the center in managing the game
flow with respect to the company's data security, the HR
department should not sit on the bench. HR has the point guard
skills necessary to mitigate important insider threats and properly
train the rest of the team to play it safe.
