Myth: Cybersecurity is a concern for big businesses. Small businesses just aren’t on the radar. Reality: Attackers are opportunists who look for the weakest link: All they need is one—and they have time, motivation, and financial resources. (Look at Target’s mega-hack enabled by a HVAC vendor’s cybersecurity error.)
Cybersecurity is a cost of doing business with government—but it doesn’t have to be an unreasonable financial hit. This workshop will walk you through the cybersecurity guidelines, talk you
through a preliminary self-assessment, and offer templates to help you define and implement your security program. For more information click HERE
