The US Small Business Administration (SBA) will host a cyber summit in October, part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. The free series will support small businesses with tools, tips, and resources from multiple federal agencies to bolster their cybersecurity infrastructure, in addition to exploring new trends and challenges entrepreneurs are increasingly facing. The series will be held each Wednesday in October (October 4, 11, 18, and 25) at noon ET.
Surveys have shown that most small business owners feel their businesses are vulnerable to a cyberattack, yet many businesses cannot afford professional IT solutions, have limited time to devote to cybersecurity, or do not know where to begin.
“As small businesses increasingly rely on technology to start and grow their businesses, our SBA Cyber Summit and our work modernizing the SBA will help more entrepreneurs make the digital pivot safely by leveraging SBA resources and private sector solutions to defend their businesses, their customers, and their livelihoods from the ever-evolving threats from cyber criminals,” said SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman.
The summit, with digestible and compact segments, will feature experts from the public and private sectors with actionable, turnkey solutions. Attendees will have the opportunity to network and access practical tips, problem-solving strategies, industry trends, and threat avoidance.
