According to a nationwide study of small businesses by a digital security firm and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), 83 percent of small businesses have no formal cyber security plan, while 69 percent lack even an informal one. At the same time, 71 percent are dependent on the internet for daily operations, yet almost half believe data hacks are isolated incidents that won’t have an impact on their business.

They couldn’t be more wrong. According to research cyber attacks cost small and medium-size businesses over $200,000, and almost two-thirds of victimized companies are forced out of business within six months of being attacked.

The “Keeping Small Business Cyber Secure” presentation is a must for anyone who uses computers or processes credit cards in their business. Learn how to protect yourself and your business from hackers.
