Small businesses have been targeted even more in recent years. With smaller budgets\, small businesses often lack resources for expensive cyber security measures and training for employees. This makes them easier targets for bad actors and puts business owners\, staff\, and customers at risk of having their data compromised. A cyber attack can impact a business for years. Not only can it disrupt day-to-day operations and create financial burdens\, but it can impact your customers' trust.\n\nDid you know that 90% of all cyber attacks on organizations involve some form of social engineering?

All this means that most cyberattacks are preventable through staff training and implementing cyber security best practices.\n\nThe training on Wednesday\, May 21st will focus on email\, text\, and in-person social engineering\, including what it means\, what to look for\, and how to prevent your business from falling victim to an attack. The training will also discuss strong passwords and remote worker best practices.\n\nThis is open to all local businesses\n\nDo you have a speciffic topic you would like to discuss?
