Topic: Technology

In an era where digital threats evolve faster than the software meant to stop them, staying "offline" isn't an option—but staying protected is. Join Dasia Johnson, Ohio APEX Accelerator Specialist, and Ed Slusarski, President of RYSS LLC, for a look into new threats and steps to prevent you from being a victim.

This workshop is specifically designed for small business owners, government contractors, and professionals who need to navigate the complexities of data protection without getting lost in the jargon.

Key Takeaways:

Understand current trends in phishing, ransomware, and social engineering—and why small businesses are often the primary targets.

Dasia will break down the latest cybersecurity standards required for government contracting (including CMMC insights) and how to keep your business eligible for prime opportunities.

Ed will share actionable, easy, low-cost steps to harden your network and protect your proprietary data, including your customer's data.

Learn what to do in the "golden hour" after a suspected breach to minimize damage and recovery time.
