Real or Ransom? Effective Practices to Strengthen Your Cyber Defense
Most of us have heard of phishing, however, it’s no longer the only form of data breach to be aware of. As the Internet and AI gain knowledge and intelligence; so do cybercriminals. In this session, we’ll break down the different types of phishing, smishing, and other attacks that you can expect to see more of. You'll leave this session with the confidence to not only detect any attempt to obtain personal information for malicious intent but also train your staff to have that same level of awareness!

A Triple Threat: Mastering Labor, Compliance and Sustainability in Manufacturing
Over the last few years there have been significant investments made in U.S. manufacturing and we are finally beginning to see long awaited growth in the industry. As we start to see this shift, manufacturers must adapt quickly to stay in-line with new government regulations, meet customers progressive sustainability requirements, and address the ongoing labor shortage. To adapt to the evolving demands of the industry, companies will need to adopt technologies and solutions, such as ERP, EDI cloud computing and MES. In this session, industry veteran Tim Watkins of ECI Software Solutions will discuss how manufacturers can achieve resiliency and agility through digitization, ultimately fostering growth and success in the industry long term. It also will include specific case studies of manufacturers that have employed these strategies and how they have benefited.
