Watch the full recorded session now!** --- ### Highlights: - **Top security concerns with Hawaii Businesses** include Data breaches, training staff to identify cybersecurity risk, and staying up to date with the latest security measures. - **Businesses that use credit cards need to stay on top of keeping their transactions and data secure.** Controlling and modifying access to sensitive data and a constantly changing credit card technology are some of the bigger challenges for a PCI compliant organization. - **Adjusting business practices during COVID.** Some of the challenges that businesses faced to adjust for include remote access for voice systems, purchasing additional equipment like laptops for working from home, setting up remote access, enabling personal mobile devices and enabling the speed needed for the remote users.  - **Have a technology partner that you trust.** It is much more efficient to find the right technology partner to tackle the security problems rather than trying to create this expertise yourself.  --- **If you have questions about cybersecurity, feel free to email your account managers or email us at [htuniversity@hawaiiantel.com](mailto:htuniversity@hawaiiantel.com) and we'll have one of our experts get back to you.** Hawaiian Telcom University was originally created as a day-long technology event for Hawaii’s businesses and IT professionals.
