Data is the new liability. Is yours protected from a cybersecurity attack?

Customer data is one of the most valuable assets a business hold.  It is also one of the most targeted.  A single data exposure can damage trust , trigger legal issues, and impact long term growth. Don’t be a victim!

A key component of managing and reducing cybersecurity risks and integrating good cybersecurity practices throughout your business is making sure you have a cybersecurity-ready team. But what does that, or can that, look like? The composition of this team will vary based upon your budget, current staff capabilities, risk level, cybersecurity or privacy requirements, etc., and can vary from a single in-house cybersecurity role (e.g., hiring new staff or upskilling existing), to an entire internal cybersecurity team, to external vendor or community support—or a mix of all the above.

For small businesses who are often confronted with limited resources, knowing how to get started and finding the necessary resources can be particularly challenging. During this webinar, speakers will showcase various options that small businesses may consider as they start building their cybersecurity team, including but not limited to:

• What to consider before building your cybersecurity team
• Options if you do not have the resources to hire a dedicated staff member to focus on cybersecurity, such as apprenticeships, engaging a third-party vendor, etc.
• Community resources small businesses can reach out to for assistance
• Considerations for hiring your first cybersecurity staff member or outsourcing to a third party
• Resources and tips for training all staff to build a culture of cybersecurity throughout the organization

When we think about cybersecurity and rapidly evolving technologies, we often focus on technical skills. However, strong cybersecurity also depends on professionals who can collaborate, communicate, and make responsible decisions in complex environments. This webinar highlights the human side of cybersecurity careers and explains why workplace, professional, and leadership skills—such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving—are essential for building a strong and effective cyber workforce.
