Do you have data security policies in place? Is your wireless network using WEP encryption, which is easy to hack, instead of WPA2 encryption? Are you using Web-based apps that employ intrusion prevention systems?

For financial advisors, technical mumbo jumbo often gets in the way of understanding how to protect your clients’ data. At this session, you’ll get the plain English version about data security for advisors, and you will learn:

  • What to include in your data security policies
  • What to ask Web-based vendors about their security
  • Why free Web-based apps can pose a security risk
  • How to create and manage strong passwords

Speaker Brian Edelman, CEO of Financial Computer Services and a blogger on Advisors4Advisors, has been consulting advisors on IT and security for over 20 years. Speaker Andrew Gluck, is Editor of A4A and CEO of Advisor Products, which offers AdvisorVault.
