Nasdaq Announces New Corporate Threat Preparedness Series -- 'POINT'
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Cyber Security to be the Inaugural Topic to Coincide With National Cyber
Security Awareness Month
NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced
a new global initiative under the acronym, POINT (Perspectives, Opportunities
and Insights on the Next Threat). The quarterly corporate-focused series will
take a best practices approach to identifying the coming corporate threats and
how companies and their boards can prepare for and find opportunities in these
potential threats to their business.
To coincide with October's U.S. National Cyber Security Awareness Month, cyber
security will be the inaugural topic in the Nasdaq POINT Series. Other planned
topics in the series will include activism, M&A, intellectual property
protection, global talent wars, among others. The Nasdaq POINT Series will be
delivered through engaging webinars, white papers and in-person events - and
will include subject matter experts and other luminaries to share up-to-date
information and recommendations.
"The greatest threats to businesses are those that the companies are unprepared
to address," said Adena Friedman, President, Nasdaq. "By creating POINT, Nasdaq
is demonstrating a commitment to our clients by looking around corners at the
approaching threats to their business, and sharing best practices that are
imperative to running a successful regional or global enterprise."

be conducting a variety of activities throughout October and Q4 including:

directors and executive teams around cybersecurity awareness and readiness,
questions to be asked of executive teams, and actionable guidance on how to

five issues that are front and center on the minds of every C-level executive
running a company," said Lou Modano, Senior Vice President and Chief Information
Security Officer. "Our goal with POINT is to aggregate and share our knowledge
and best practices beyond Nasdaq to positively impact how the capital markets
