Venue/Dates: -  Washington, DC: May 15, 2002     - Boston: July 24, 2002

The recent events of September 11 have surfaced many critical issues that need to be incorporated in your enterprise protection and business continuity plans.   The new terrorism, cyber terrorism, infrastructure attacks and collateral damage that can deeply impact organizations have substantially rendered your plans obsolete.  New “out-of-the box” thinking is needed with a global view. 

CEOs, line management, IT, security and business continuity professionals in government and the private sector should be fearful that current contingency and business continuity plans are not adequate to cope with the new global terrorism, cyber terrorism and infrastructure attack threats.  Recent surveys taken after the September 11 disaster confirm these fears.

The Office of Homeland Security recently issued a directive for government organizations to ensure that their emergency preparedness and contingency plans are adequate to protect people, assets and business continuity.  Due diligence demands that your organization’s protection and continuity plan be upgraded as soon as possible. This timely seminar provides you with detailed guidelines to upgrade your protection plan.
