We’ve all read the headlines of cyberattacks on big businesses and government entities—hackers swiping millions of credit card details, Social Security numbers and other personal information. But have you thought about what the consequences a cyberattack against your small business could be?

According to Dawn Olesky, senior manager of trade and customs at KPMG LLP, we’re seeing the most significant changes to Duty Drawback since its inception in 1789.

Over the years, AIAG has developed common assessments for special processes — specifically, heat treat, coating, molding, plating, soldering, and welding — in response to OEM and supplier quality issues in these areas, which impact product performance on both interior and exterior parts.

AIAG’s Director of Supply Chain Products & Services Tanya Bolden will be a featured speaker at the first-ever, co-branded cybersecurity event with GAMA, the Georgia Automotive Manufacturers Association. Scheduled for February 5, 2020, the conference will be held at the Douglasville Conference Center in Douglasville, Georgia.
