LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. -

Dealertrack Technologies acknowledged large, high-profile retailers such as Target and Home Depot may get the headlines, but the service provider said dealerships are especially vulnerable to data security breaches thanks to the large amount of personal information they gather about customers.

During a free webinar, Dealertrack associate general counsel Randy Henrick will discuss how managers can implement best practices to safeguard their dealerships against data security breaches. Discussion points will include:

— Financial ramifications of a data security breach

— Requirements of the Safeguards Rule mandated by the Federal Trade Commission

— Best safeguards practices for dealers

The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session.

The hour-long session is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. on Thursday.
