Cybersecurity Awareness For Small Business Owners
On average, 47% of small businesses are hit by cyberattacks.
Area small business owners are invited to a FREE cybersecurity training seminar in October, provided by local tech expert Ryan Gable, owner of 9GBTech, LLC.
“The intent of this seminar is to educate people, not frighten them. Cybersecurity is a real threat, and most do not realize how serious this can be,” Ryan states. “A cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds. Over 40% of cyberattacks target small businesses. This is a real and dangerous threat that can be addressed by understanding the risks and how to mitigate them.” Once companies are impacted by a cyberattack, 60% of the businesses go out of business within six months.
Two sessions are being held at the Peabody Library, Auditorium 1, 1160 IN-205, Columbia City IN 46725.
