Strengthening Your Digital Dealership

December 4, 2024

Payroll’s offline. HR is shut down. Car sales are being recorded manually. Service techs are transcribing customer oil changes. Sound familiar? A few months ago, the CDK Global cyber incident rocked the dealerships industry and left many dealers wondering what to do. No backups, no incident response plans, and no quick way to go back to business as usual.

Whether you’re on the CDK Global dealer management system (DMS) or you use Reynolds and Reynolds, Dealertrack, or another DMS, a cyberattack directly to your dealership or through a third-party vendor isn’t a matter of “if” but “when.”

Join Forvis Mazars for an informative webinar as our dealerships, business interruption, and cybersecurity professionals walk you through how you can bounce back from such an event and build up and maintain a compliant security system for your dealership moving forward.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize the next steps to take directly after a cyberattack, including business interruption insurance claims, sales reporting, and more.
  • Create an incident response plan to prepare for the possibility of future cyber incidents.
  • Identify options for backing up data separate from a singular third party.
  • Explain the baseline cybersecurity measures a dealership needs to take to comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Safeguards Rule.
