Bottom Line IT
March 1, 2023 10:00 AM

In recent years, cybercriminals have found ways to commercialize their illegal activities.

One of the most concerning trends in the cybersecurity industry is the rise of “Crime-as-a-Service” (CaaS), which refers to the provision of criminal tools and services to non-technical criminals who lack the expertise to commit cybercrimes on their own.

Essentially, CaaS allows anyone to become a cybercriminal by providing a range of tools and services that can be used for illegal purposes. CaaS providers operate like legitimate businesses. They have HR departments, marketing teams, and even PR staff to provide official press statements.

Foster Swift Second Wednesday Lunch Break

March 8, 2023

Passed by Congress on January 1, 2021, and set to take effect on January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is set to dramatically change reporting requirements for many small and medium-sized businesses.

For the first time ever, legislation will mandate that qualifying businesses self-report "Beneficial Owner" information to a massive federal database. This information includes names and other identifiable information about certain people who create, own, lead, or have influence over the business as well as information about the business itself. The CTA includes many categories of "beneficial ownership" beyond those who simply own the company's equity.

Failure for qualifying businesses to comply can lead to civil penalties and criminal charges including jail time. Now is the time for businesses to seek counsel to become familiar with the regulations and to prepare themselves for the flood of reporting requirements ahead.

Join us for our next 2nd Wednesday which will feature business and real estate attorney, Rob Hamor, as he discusses:

Key rules of the CTA;
Types of businesses and companies that are exempt;
Strategies for complying with the CTA;
Potential civil and criminal violations for noncompliance.

When: March 8, 2023 from 12:00-12:30 pm
Registration: https://bit.ly/2ndWeds2023

If cybersecurity isn’t a priority for your business in 2023, it should be.

In 2022 it wasn’t unusual to see cybersecurity incidents make global headlines as high-profile attacks occurred around the world. In fact, since 2020 ransomware attacks have increased 435% on businesses across the world.

With economic uncertainty and a looming recession, financially motivated crimes will continue to be popular in the next year. To stay prepared, businesses need to be aware of the threats they face, their security gaps, and remediate any vulnerabilities that leave their doors open to an attack.
