Explore advanced cybersecurity tactics to strengthen your business against ever-evolving threats. In this no-fee webinar, we will guide you beyond the Cybersecurity Basics trainings into a deeper exploration of essential topics for building cyber resilience.

Join us for this webinar hosted by the NorCal Small Business Development Center. Zack Barton will lead a discussion with renowned cybersecurity specialist, Jacob Blacksten, to highlight the importance of password management, multi-factor authentication, emergency response plans, and staff training within today's digital space.

This workshop will discuss emerging and future trends for IoT technologies and their implications for IoT cybersecurity. As IoT becomes more sophisticated, automated and ubiquitous, it becomes increasingly important for IoT cybersecurity considerations to keep pace with emerging risks and threats.

Over two days, the workshop will feature presentations and discussions on many IoT topics, including Federal sector concerns as the NIST Cybersecurity for IoT program works on preparing to update NIST SP 800-213, considerations for federal healthcare use cases, emerging use cases for IoT in the private sector, and the increasing automation of IoT and integration of IoT with AI technologies.

Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated—and more automated. This webinar explores how traditional threats like phishing and ransomware are being amplified by artificial intelligence.

Attendees will learn about:

• Modern phishing and impersonation attacks
• Business email compromise and payment fraud
• AI-driven scams and social engineering
• Supply-chain and third-party cyber risks
• Cost-effective ways to improve cyber hygiene

Perfect for small business owners looking to understand today’s risks without becoming cybersecurity experts.
