Description
Cyberattacks don’t just target big corporations—small businesses are at risk every day.
Join SCORE mentor and cybersecurity expert Michael Samoska for a live-hybrid webinar/workshop that demystifies cybersecurity and puts you back in control.
You’ll learn the core building blocks of cybersecurity, understand today’s most common threats, and walk away with practical insights to help safeguard your business, your customers, and your critical information.
Stick around to network and mingle with SCORE mentors—your trusted partners in building a resilient, secure, and successful business.
In this workshop, participants will learn how to:
• Understand why cybersecurity is critical for small businesses—not just large companies
• Recognize common cyber threats targeting small businesses today
• Protect business and customer data from cyber risks and breaches
• Apply foundational cybersecurity best practices with limited time and resources
• Reduce risk and strengthen trust with clients through smarter security habits
Simple Practical Steps to Prepare for the Workshop
Before attending, take a few minutes to think about:
- How you currently store business and customer information
- Whether you’ve ever received a suspicious email, text, or login request
- Who in your business has access to passwords, files, or systems
- What would be most disruptive if your business lost access to data—even temporarily
No technical background required—just a desire to protect your business and your customers.
