Wisconsin Event Recap: Protecting Yourself from Cybercrime

  • November 20, 2019

Strategic Wealth Partners continued the focus on protection from cybercrime this fall with a client event in the Milwaukee area. Guest speaker, Dr. Thomas Kaczmarek, Director of Marquette University’s Center for Cyber Security Awareness and Cyber Defense, focused on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework of identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover as he shared tips and took questions from the audience.

Dr. Kaczmarek reminded the attendees not to engage with hackers if they do become a victim of cybercrime, “If you do get hacked and receive an email demanding ransom, do not engage with the hacker. You should reach out to an IT professional or law enforcement for help because hackers will often deposit a new virus on your machine after receiving a ransom payment.”

Instead of saving every available dollar for their estate, people are using some of those assets to fund unforgettable family vacations, meaningful experiences with friends, and other memories that last a lifetime. People are also investing in their loved one’s lives while living, offering to contribute more to wedding costs, housing down payments, and business funding.

At some point in your life, you may be faced with managing a large cash inflow. Selling a business, collecting a deferred compensation payout, and receiving an inheritance are a few of the most common reasons. Regardless of the source of this money, you will have to decide what to do with it. It’s an age-old investing debate: should I invest the cash all at once, or stage into the market over time?
