Most cyber threat reports reveal that small (and medium) businesses (SMBs) face unique challenges of adequate, affordable execution when it comes to cyber security. For example, around 60% of SMBs that have a data breach are out of business within six months, some sooner than that when their limited cash flow dries up.  Almost half of all cyber-attacks (43%) specifically target SMBs!

Most realize that any kind of disruption, natural or man-made – the loss of power for days from a hurricane or snow storm, or, increasingly in recent times, a cyber attack or computer crash – can interrupt operations and cash flow. This creates a critical need to avoid such a problem, when possible, and to get your business back up and running quickly.

Questions to ask yourself and your business team:

• Do your systems have enough protection? 
• How would you know? 
• Where do you begin?

In this workshop you’ll get the knowledge and resources your business needs to lower its risk of a data breach.
