A Distance Learning Seminar discussing cyber security issues of particular interest to media businesses is being offered by MFM – the Media Financial Management Association on Thursday, January 22 from 3:30-4:45 p.m. EST.
The CPE (Continuing Professional Education) teleseminar will include presentations from Melissa Ventrone, chair of the Data Privacy & Security practice for the Wilson Elser law firm, and attorney Sean Letz, assistant vice president of Cyber & E&O insurance for Marsh, and former Claims Specialist for the ACE Group property and casualty insurance firm.
“Cyber security is a topic of major concern for media companies, particularly in light of the attacks against Sony Entertainment and other instances where the value of copyrighted video materials has been diminished through online piracy,” said Mary M. Collins, president and CEO of MFM and its BCCA subsidiary. “Cyber-security experts Melissa Ventrone and Sean Letz will provide the latest guidance on measures that media organizations can take in order to strengthen their information governance programs and reduce financial risk.”
