Whether you're just starting a new business venture or are taking your operations to the next level, every business owner needs to know the basics of good data security. Since the start of the pandemic, the FBI has reported a 300% increase in cybercrime and the numbers are only rising. 

Entrepreneurs and small business owners are prime targets for these attacks, because most lack the knowledge necessary to defend against them. However, if you are armed with the knowledge to proactively defend against these attacks, you and your clients will be safe and well-protected.

Attend this session to learn about a program created by the Department of Energy’s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response to enhance bi-directional conversations and strengthen relationships between and among cyber experts in the U.S. government and OT operational and security managers across the energy sector. The session will focus on the lessons learned that can be applied across all critical infrastructure sectors and all sector risk management agencies to enhancing cyber defense.

Cyber threats and scams are rising, and you must know how to protect your business. In this webinar, a certified SCORE mentor will teach you the basics of Cybersecurity and what you can do to keep your business and your customers safe from cyber threats.
