The Evolution of Cybersecurity

October 28, 2019 - Hackers are getting in. Now what? Americans no longer believe there’s an organization immune from a data breach. Businesses feel like cybersecurity companies have broken their promises to stop hackers. So, where do we go from here? There is an evolution of cybersecurity underway right now, and Seattle-area organizations are at the forefront. In this panel, we will explore a number of questions: There will never be 100% protection from hackers, so how should businesses build a cybersecurity plan? How have hackers evolved in the past two years? How should businesses detect and respond to threats when they happen? What should businesses do if they can’t afford a big cybersecurity price tag? Can businesses trust vendors and suppliers anymore? How should organizations talk to consumers about the risk of breaches? Join us November 5, 2019 to learn what businesses are doing right and what they’re doing wrong in the fight against cybercriminals. Panelists: Julie Engbloom, Privacy & Data Security Team Co-Chair, Lane Powell Michael Hamilton, Founder, CI Security Ellen Wiegand, VP and CIO, Virginia Mason Medical CenterDave Wolf, VP and CISO, WaFd Bank Moderated by: Jake Milstein, CMO, CI Security Schedule:7:00am: Doors Open, Coffee & Tea, Networking7:30am: Breakfast Buffet8:00am: Panel Discussion followed by Q&A9:15am: Networking This event is presented by CI Security.

Hear from three local executives who have recently gone through a business transaction, each with a unique journey, as they share their wisdom and learnings from their own experiences. Each panelist will discuss their thoughts on how to prepare, insights on went right and wrong, and how they feel about the process now that the dust has settled. This event is bound to be informative and insightful for anyone whose business may go through an ownership transition in the future. Panelists: Lorrie Baldevia, COO and Principal, Assured Partners MCMBrandon Pedersen, CFO and EVP Finance, Alaska Air GroupKathy Craft, Principal, NELSON, formerly Craft Architects Moderated by: Pitt Means, Managing Director, Berntson Porter Corporate Advisory LLC Schedule:7:00am: Doors Open, Coffee & Tea, Networking7:30am: Breakfast Buffet8:00am: Panel Discussion followed by Q&A9:15am: Networking This event is presented by Berntson Porter & Company, PLLC.

Free Trade and the Impact on Washington State

July 17, 2019 - International trade and investment directly support nearly 600,000 jobs in Washington state, and indirectly roughly 40 percent of jobs in the state are tied to trade. Protectionist tariffs are taxes on Washington state businesses and families, especially those imposed on imports from China, the state’s top export market. Trade policy should prioritize opening new markets and increasing the freedom of individuals in Washington state, and around the country, to buy and sell with the world free of government intervention. Please join Tori K. Whiting, Jay Van Andel Trade Economist at The Heritage Foundation and Michael A. Fowler, Senior Trade Consultant on July 17 at the World Trade Center Tacoma, in partnership with the World Trade Center Seattle, for a round table discussion on how Washington state and the U.S. can continue to benefit from free trade.
