3 Ways Boston University’s Online MBA Is A Disruptor In Business Education
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedIn

Forbes recently published an article featuring Avi Seidmann, Professor of Information Systems. Avi provided commentary on the steps companies should take to prepare for cybersecurity threats in the days leading up to and after the inauguration of President Biden, as well as tips for long-term proactivity.

“Long-term, companies should invest in constantly updating their technology and systems to ensure they have the best cybersecurity protections available. A great amount of American IT systems are outdated, most notably in the smaller hospitals and insurance companies.”

This article highlighted the security threats businesses and government organizations may experience due to tension surrounding Joe Biden’s inauguration. Read the full article here.
