As the world of commerce goes global, small businesses are especially vulnerable to predatory activity that could result directly in lost revenue and the corruption of customer transaction data.
An online session offered by Finger Lakes Opportunity for Tourism Growth (FLOTG) aims to provide small business owners a way to catch up on the ever-growing threat posed by cyber-crime. “Cybersecurity and What You Need to Know as a Small Business Owner” will go live on Wednesday, March 23, from 10 a.m. to noon. Tickets can be purchased exclusively on Eventbrite. The cost for FLTA partners is $10 and $20 for non-partners – with discounted second attendees. Employees of all businesses serving the Finger Lakes Region are encouraged to attend. Proceeds from the event benefit future FLOTG programming.
In this informative session, expert Nick Francesco will share his wealth of knowledge in easy-to-understand terms for people of all experience levels. Attendees will learn the risks associated with businesses accepting credit cards, managing employee email access to sensitive files, how to respond when data has become subject to a cyber-attack, what incidents they are legally obligated to report, and how to mitigate other avoidable risks by going beyond just changing passwords regularly.
Nick Francesco is the Chief Technology Officer for Mastermind Lounge and the host of Sound Bytes – the longest-running web-based show. In addition to authoring several books on Chromebooks and Google Docs, he also pens the weekly technology-based newsletter, Ask Nick!
