Cyber Security Risk Expert to Provide Key Insights for


CEOs and Management Teams in London and Dubai
Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and Knightmare on Wall Street and former strategy
consultant with McKinsey, partnering with Terrapinn Training in 3-Day Masterclass Cybersecurity
to bring key insights for government officials, CEOs and board members on cyber security.

London, UK -- Mr. Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and Knightmare on Wall Street, is
addressing senior government officials and executives from Europe and Asia at the 3-Day Masterclass in
Cybersecurity organized by Terrapinn Training in London and Dubai. Perez is a well-known international
futurist and cyber keynote speaker who currently offers Cybersecurity Due Diligence and Awareness
Training services for Fortune 500 firms and private equity groups.

As information technology becomes ever more complex and Internet usage increasingly widespread,
cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly important and business-critical field. Unfortunately, most
organizations are not prepared to handle cybersecurity threats. In fact, 66% of IT and security
professionals say that their firms are unprepared to recover from a cyberattack. A key example of this
unpreparedness is the fact that many of the companies impacted by the recent WannaCry attack didn't
install critical updates into their Windows infrastructure that had been released by Microsoft back in March.

Perez's workshops bring CEOs, board members and top executives up to speed on the most recent and
battle-tested approaches to protect their companies' valuable information and intellectual property from
prying eyes of hackers and competitors, and leverage their cyber success in both cultivating stronger
relationships with current and new clients and safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders, partners and
employees.

Perez, author of Knightmare on Wall Street and The Speed Traders, is a recognized futurist, keynote
speaker and director of programs targeted at board members, chief executive officers and senior
executives looking for new ways to gain and maintain a competitive business advantage.
