Cybersecurity Panel   

Small businesses are not immune from cyber threats. The 2022 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Reports states “contrary to what many may think, very small organizations are just as enticing to criminals as large ones, and, in certain ways, maybe even more so.” It goes on and states that” These <cyber> incidents can and have put small companies out of business.”

Come join our panel discussion to hear from cybersecurity experts on how you can protect your business and answer your questions. 

Our panel members – Scott Foote, Phenomenati Consulting, Heather Noggle, Codistac, and Kyle Schofield, Mainstay Technologies – have years of experience helping small and medium businesses with their cybersecurity challenges. The workshop will be hosted by Marion Michaud and Adelis Sanchez who are also experts in cybersecurity.
