Think Before You Click: Cybersecurity — What Every Business Needs to Know

Cyber scams aren't just targeting large corporations. Small businesses, employees, and organizations are increasingly faced with fraudulent emails, compromised accounts, payment scams, stolen passwords, impersonation attempts, and other threats—and sometimes all it takes is one click.

Join us for a practical conversation with three local experts representing cybersecurity, banking, and law enforcement as they share what they are seeing, how these scams happen, and what businesses can do to better protect themselves.

We'll talk about things like:

• The cyber scams and fraud attempts businesses are seeing right now
• How to recognize suspicious emails, links, invoices, and payment requests
• What happens when an employee accidentally clicks something they shouldn't
• Steps businesses can take now to reduce their risk
• Financial fraud and what to do if money or account information is compromised
• When and how to report cybercrime
• Simple cybersecurity practices every employee should know

You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions directly to our panel of experts.

You don't have to be an IT professional to benefit from this session. If you own a business, manage employees, handle money, use email, or work online, this information is for you.
