Center for Accounting Transformation Offers Accessible Training to Safeguard Sensitive Information

HONOLULU, HI, UNITED STATES, July 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to a June article from WifiTalents.com, 90% of accounting firms have experienced at least one phishing attack, and accounting firms experienced a 200% increase in cyberattacks in 2020.

Because of these consistently growing threats, the Center for Accounting Transformation is hosting "Non-Techie Cybersecurity Update for Tax Practitioners," a webinar that aims to equip tax professionals with essential cybersecurity knowledge in an accessible format, ensuring they can protect their practices and client data effectively.

Donny Shimamoto, CPA, CITP, CGMA, founder and managing director of IntrapriseTechKnowlogies LLC and founder and inspiration architect of the Center for Accounting Transformation, will help participants identify cybersecurity compliance requirements for accounting firms, define key areas of cybersecurity risk, and understand cyber risk mitigation options.

“Nearly all – 95% in fact – of cybersecurity breaches are due to human error,” Shimamoto said. “With continued training, business professionals can drastically mitigate their risk.”

The webinar is designed specifically for professionals without a technical background, breaking down complex cybersecurity concepts into straightforward, actionable steps. This approach ensures that all participants, regardless of their prior technical knowledge, can benefit from the insights provided.
