EPIC's David McNeil to Present on Emerging Cyber Threats at American Association of Water Distribution & Management Thought Leadership Lab

SAN FRANCISCO and ONTARIO, Calif., Oct. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants, a retail property, casualty insurance brokerage and employee benefits consultant, announced today that Principal David McNeil will present at the American Association of Water Distribution and Management (AAWD&M) Ronald W. Seymour Memorial Thought Leadership Lab which will be hosted and live streamed from the Las Vegas Valley Water District on Thurs., Oct. 26 at 10:00 a.m.

With cyber threats growing in number, complexity and severity, criminals are inadvertently aided by an infrastructure focused on maximizing technological gains. This new normal is exacerbated by management's increasing reliance on internet connectivity that doesn't always have proper security precautions. In his presentation "Emerging Cyber Threats to Critical Infrastructure Organizations," McNeil will identify salient threats to water utility operations as well as concerns and trends associated with social engineering, ransomware and insider employee threats.

The AAWD&M Ronald W. Seymour Memorial Thought Leadership Lab will facilitate networking of innovative and like-minded risk managers who seek to accentuate standards, set benchmarks and discuss emerging trends. The lab will share member data and perform relevant research via partnership with an accredited risk management university and will house AAWD&M's broker designation curriculum as well as advisory services for smaller public water systems.
