In the foundation session of this two-part program, participants will be introduced to cybersecurity terminology. Then, building on those items, participants will review the types of cyberattacks businesses face and explore the past and present cyber landscape. From here we will dive into these critical moments in time and discuss essential cybersecurity protocols business owners and executives can put in place to avoid falling victim to similar threats.

In our second session, we will get into more advanced cybersecurity topics, and look towards the future. The group will also discuss the essential aspects of an effective cybersecurity program that participants can implement to better protect their own organizations.

Finally, we will wrap things up with a Q&A session to answer any questions!
