Description:
The Roanoke Regional Small Business Development Center presents a Cyber Security Forum on Thursday, October 26, 2017 at The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center.

The speakers consist of the best in the region and the nation including the head of cybersecurity for AT&T, the second largest cybersecurity company in the country. This isn’t a plug for any particular business. We are just trying to get people to pull their heads out of the sand and be proactive in their business.

This year alone, we have seen multiple high level Cybersecurity attacks including WannaCry and the Equifax hack but the #1 target for hackers is small and medium size businesses. With 60% of small companies going out of business within 6 months of a cyber-attack, can you really afford not to be prepared?

Join us for a detailed look into the big picture of cyberthreats related to small and medium size businesses, learn about real-world examples of businesses that handled a breach well and those that didn't, and the best ways to protect your data and have a plan in place that won't break your budget. Leading industry experts will help you make some of the most important decisions you can make related to the security of your data and longevity of your business.

The cost of the forum is $39.00 per person.

A light breakfast and a lunch will be provided.

If you feel your businesses can’t afford the $39.00 price, feel free to offer them the code “chambersquad” and they will receive $10.00 off.
