SUMMARY:Power Hour: Protect the Bag: Practical Contract Review + Core Cyber Hygiene for Business Continuity
DESCRIPTION:Contracts and cyber risk are two of the most common drivers of business vulnerability and they often surface only after money\, time\, or reputation has already been lost. This webinar is designed to help organizations reduce that exposure with practical\, repeatable habits.\n\nJoin Rebecca Adelman\, Esq. for a focused\, executive-friendly session on how to strengthen protection in two places that quietly create the most disruption: what you sign and how you secure your systems. Rebecca will walk through a straightforward approach to reviewing contracts for risk and the core cyber practices that reduce preventable downtime and loss.\n\nThis is not a technical deep-dive or a legal lecture. It’s a practical playbook for leaders who want to protect operations\, reduce avoidable disputes\, and build resilience into day-to-day business.\n\nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to:\n\nIdentify the contract terms that most often create preventable disputes—and apply a simple “red flag” review before signing\nStrengthen contracts with practical protections around scope\, payment\, termination\, liability allocation\, confidentiality\, and IP ownership\nRecognize the most common cyber-driven business disruptions (email compromise\, payment fraud\, access failures\, ransomware-style downtime) and the habits that prevent them\nImplement a basic\, leadership-ready cyber hygiene framework that improves continuity without adding a heavy operational burden\nEstablish a clear “first hour” response mindset so teams know what to do immediately when something goes wrong\n\nWhat you’ll take away:\n\nAttendees will receive a concise\, ready-to-use “Protect the Bag” checklist covering:\n\nA pre-sign contract review framework (what to verify\, what to add\, what to push back on)\nA core cyber hygiene standard for teams\nA short incident-response starter list (“what we do in the first hour”) to reduce confusion and escalation\n\n\n\nIf your organization is ready to reduce preventable risk with clear\, practical steps\, this session will give you an actionable foundation you can use immediately.\n\nRegister for the Zoom
