Date: Thursday, October 6, 2022
Time: 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. EST
Graeme Payne was the Sr. Vice President and CIO of Global Corporate Platforms at Equifax. On July 29, 2017, hackers broke into the Equifax system. Six weeks later, 140 million consumers would be told their information had been exposed. It’s one of the largest breaches of this century and the CEO testified before Congress that human error and a technological failure were to blame. Mr. Payne was identified as that human error and was fired six weeks after the breach.
Join us for a roundtable discussion and delicious meal at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar with Graeme to walk through what transpired in the first 24 hours, weeks, and months after, what can be learned from Equifax’s breach and why you should test and improve your cybersecurity posture so you are ready to lead your company when the next major data breach occurs.
