Overview
This webcast is sponsored by IP Services.
CPA firms are trusted with highly sensitive financial and personal data, making them prime targets for ransomware, phishing, and identity theft. In this executive-level session, Scott Alldridge explains why traditional perimeter-based cybersecurity no longer protects CPA firms and how modern threats directly impact client trust, regulatory compliance, and cyber insurance eligibility.
Using real-life examples of CPA firm breaches and the VisibleOps Cybersecurity framework, this presentation introduces The Golden Thread, a practical approach that connects leadership, goverance, Zero Trust, integrity management, and compliance into a unified, resilient security strategy.
Attendees will gain clear, non-technical insights into how cybersecurity protects revenue, reduces liability, and strengthens long-term firm viability.
