ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Businesses are under increasing threat of cyber attack and often lack the requisite intelligence to mitigate risk by proactively addressing issues that could lead to significant regulatory liability and financial impacts.  The Everyday Challenge: On the Offensive for Cyber Threats brings together top security advisors to help businesses prepare for the threats to their operations and reputation.  The afternoon event, which is part of the Bloomberg Next series, takes place the afternoon of Thursday, November 17 at the Washington, D.C. offices of Bloomberg Government and is underwritten by Navigant.  For additional event and registration information, visit http://www.bloombergnext.com/everyday-challenge.
