Freeths X PIB have curated this webinar series to address some of the business-critical issues facing Automotive retail dealerships today.

But what about those unforeseen risks that can easily damage the bottom line, your brand/reputation and future growth aspirations? These webinars will help you identify, prepare and manage future risk, mitigating any negative impact it may have on your business. Join us for one or sign up for the whole series.

Cyber Crime and Cyber attacks in the Automotive sector – Preserving your brand and reputation
Car dealerships are prime targets for hackers eager to exploit weak security and access a treasure trove of financial data and gain access to third-party vendor supply chains. We discuss the areas of potential weakness including outdated IT infrastructure and insufficient employee training and focus on how you can protect your business. But what if a breach occurs? Would you know what to do? Would your team know what to do if you were uncontactable? We share including notifications, regulatory aspects, reputational management control as well as the potential litigation risks.
