RVDA, Accelerate2Compliance To Host Webinar on Dealership Cybersecurity Threats

The RV Dealers Association (RVDA), in partnership with Accelerate2Compliance (A2C) — one of the nation’s foremost experts on cybersecurity and data protection — will co-host a free webinar titled “Emerging Threats to the RV Dealership Landscape” on Thursday, Oct. 30, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. The session is open to all RV dealers and industry professionals. Dealers can register here to attend.

As RV dealerships become increasingly reliant on integrated dealer management systems (DMS) and digital technologies to manage inventory, sales, service and customer data, they also face escalating cybersecurity threats. Recent high-profile incidents, including breaches impacting DMS providers and a ransomware attack on a major global automaker, underscore the potential for widespread operational and financial disruption across the entire dealership ecosystem.

These events have served as a wake-up call, revealing how vulnerabilities in the digital supply chain can cascade across dealership operations, manufacturers and service partners — putting business continuity, customer trust and revenue at risk.

During this informative session, experts from A2C will examine:

• How both incidents exposed systemic weaknesses in RV dealership and DMS cybersecurity frameworks.
• The direct and indirect consequences of supply chain disruptions, including operational downtime, data loss and reputational harm.
• Best practices for identifying and mitigating emerging risks that threaten dealership stability and customer confidence.

The webinar will conclude with a practical segment titled “The Top Five Actions RV Dealerships Can Take to Increase Resilience,” equipping participants with actionable steps to strengthen their cybersecurity posture, enhance vendor oversight and prepare for potential future disruptions.

“Cybersecurity is now a business continuity issue, not just an IT concern,” said Matt Vatter, Chief Compliance Officer for A2C. “This webinar will give RV dealers a clearer understanding of how to protect their businesses, employees and customers from the next generation of digital threats.”

As one of RVDA’s Endorsed Providers, A2C delivers compliance, cybersecurity and risk management solutions tailored to the unique needs of the RV industry. A2C helps RV dealerships of all sizes implement proactive safeguards and meet federal and state data protection standards.
