Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It affects financial data, client trust, and professional reputation. This session focuses on how cybersecurity failures occur and why technology risk must be understood by professionals, not just technical teams. Attention is given to common attack methods, weak points in systems, and the consequences of breaches. Understanding how technology and cybersecurity risks interact helps professionals ask better questions and identify exposure early. This session strengthens awareness of risk, responsibility, and the role professionals play in protecting information and systems in a digital environment.
