Most businesses have an information security program that is managed by the CISO or CIO (depending on the size and scope of the business). The focus of these programs is protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the technology assets and information they store and process. We will discuss how to ensure that the overall Information Security Program of a business includes the Department of Labor cybersecurity best practices for the Employee Benefit Plan.
