Eric Wright Joins Regional Experts During the White House Summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection
PITTSBURGH—Eric Wright, Schneider Downs Technology Advisors Shareholder, was recently selected by the FBI as a panelist for the Pittsburgh Cybersecurity Forum. The forum, held in conjunction with The White House Summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection, brought together the region’s experts for a panel discussion on industry trends and the cybersecurity posture of organizations within Pittsburgh and the surrounding area.
“It’s important to understand your current security profile and address the gaps that currently exist. Your IT risk assessment is a living, breathing document that needs to be monitored and adjusted as your organization changes,” said Eric Wright. “Human nature is typically the weakest link in organization’s security profile, and to combat this weakness, companies should implement security training and awareness programs for all employees.”
Coinciding with the forum, President Barack Obama addressed the issues surrounding information sharing between the federal government and private sector at The White House Summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection at Stanford University in California. The summit was livestreamed in 18 cities across the U.S., including Pittsburgh, where it was broadcast during the forum.
Following the summit, President Obama signed Executive Order 13636, “Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.”
