Join Zack Barton and Jake Blacksten as they discuss how to create an efficient cybersecurity emergency response plan. During this webinar, they will note details such as who to contact, and in what order, and provide a checklist of important steps to take in response to a cybersecurity attack.

Small business owners who understand how changes in the cybersecurity landscape affect their operations can make proactive decisions to protect their customers, systems, and brand.

 As federal priorities shift, so do the risks and responsibilities for small business owners trying to stay secure in an increasingly digital world. Learn how regulatory shifts impact small businesses and how to navigate changing compliance requirements.

Stay ahead. Stay informed.

Phishing is one of the most common types of cyber crime. These scams use convincing emails or other messages, such as text messages or social media messages, to trick users into opening harmful links, downloading malicious software, or submitting sensitive information, such as credentials. These messages are often disguised as coming from a trusted source, such as a bank, credit card company, or even a leader within the business.

Small and medium-sized businesses are not immune to phishing. They are at risk just like their larger counterparts—only smaller organizations typically have fewer resources to prepare for and mitigate phishing risks. However, even with fewer resources, there are still proactive steps organizations of all sizes can take to reduce phishing risks. 

During this NIST small business cybersecurity webinar, we will convene a panel to highlight:

• An overview of different types of phishing attacks in addition to modern, real-world examples;
• Why it’s important to be proactive in protecting your business against phishing;
• Tips for how to spot a phishing attempt;
• Steps to take if you become the victim of a phishing scam;
• Practical steps small businesses can take to reduce your likelihood of falling victim to phishing attempts; and
• Free phishing resources available to businesses for staff training.

Speakers:

• Dr. Shanée Dawkins, Computer Scientist, Visualization and Usability Group, NIST
• Daniel Eliot, Lead for Small Business Engagement, Applied Cybersecurity Division, NIST
• Lessie Skiba, Deputy Managing Director, Cyber Readiness Institute

Join the NIST NCCoE soon for a series of virtual working sessions to provide input on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Cyber Artificial Intelligence (AI) Profile (“Cyber AI Profile). These will serve as a continuation of the April workshop and are intended for cybersecurity and AI leaders. The goal is for attendees to provide detailed, technical input to inform the Profile’s development.  

Each session in this series will explore one of the three Focus Areas planned for the Cyber AI Profile. We will use the Categories in the CSF 2.0 Core to guide our discussions. Topics will include: 

• Recap of NIST’s relevant work completed.
• Questions and feedback regarding Focus Area descriptions.
• Identifying key AI considerations for CSF 2.0 Categories.   

Join the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) on August 27, 2025 for a virtual event dedicated to exploring Secure Software Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) practices. This interactive event will showcase the NCCoE’s plans to develop guidelines that demonstrate the implementation of best practices based on NIST’s Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) and gather feedback to inform the project.
