Boston Fed CIO Don Anderson to deliver
keynote address
The Travelers Institute, the public policy division of The
Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV), will host its Cyber:
Prepare, Prevent, Mitigate, Restore℠ symposium series in Boston
today, and will be joined by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and
The New England Council. Public- and private-sector professionals
will share insights on cyber risks and tips to help small and
midsize organizations prepare for and respond to a cyber
incident.
The keynote address will be delivered by Don Anderson, Senior
Vice President and Chief Information Officer of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston.
“Cybersecurity is now the single largest international threat,”
Anderson said. “Small- and medium-sized businesses and financial
institutions must understand their vulnerabilities, and how to
mitigate potentially malicious risks.”
Joan Woodward, President of the Travelers Institute and
Executive Vice President of Public Policy at Travelers, will
facilitate the event at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
“Small and midsize organizations are often considered easy
targets because many of them do not have strong cybersecurity
procedures in place,” said Woodward. “This series convenes experts
in data encryption, anti-phishing techniques and other
cybersecurity tools to help entrepreneurs and public leaders
protect their private data.”
Woodward will moderate a discussion, “Tackling Evolving Cyber
Threats,” and will be joined by the following panelists:
- John Bruce, CEO and Co-Founder, IBM
Resilient
- Jeffrey Klenk, Executive Vice
President, Management Liability, Travelers
- James A. Trilling, Division of Privacy
and Identity Protection, Federal Trade Commission
- Michael Tunick, Special Agent, Boston
Field Office, Cyber Squad, Federal Bureau of Investigation
The Travelers Institute has held its Cyber: Prepare, Prevent,
Mitigate, Restore symposium across the U.S. since launching the
educational series in 2016. Additional events will take place in
the U.S. and Canada in the coming months.
