Webinar: Managing Cybersecurity Risk as a Retirement Plan Fiduciary
- Webinar: Managing Cybersecurity Risk as a Retirement Plan Fiduciary
October 27, 2026
9:00 am - 11:00 am
Cybersecurity is no longer simply an IT issue for retirement plans—it’s a fiduciary issue.
Retirement plans hold trillions of dollars in assets and sensitive participant information, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. As these risks grow, the Department of Labor continues to scrutinize the cybersecurity practices of plans and their service providers.
On October 27, 2026, Hinkle Law Firm LLC will present a practical program focused on the cybersecurity risks facing retirement plans and how employers, plan fiduciaries, benefits professionals, and others responsible for plan oversight can address them. Through review of actual retirement plan cyber incidents, attendees will see how fraud occurred, where controls failed, and what fiduciaries can do to strengthen their legal protections.
Topics to be Covered Include:
- How retirement plan cyber fraud actually happens and where controls fail
- What the DOL is looking for from plan fiduciaries
- How to strengthen safeguards around participant accounts, including distributions
- How AI is changing the cybersecurity risk landscape
- What to do now to reduce risk and build a defensible fiduciary record
