Join the NMTC WIT Peer Group this Thursday, April  25th for a presentation from Alicia Broadhurst, Associate Developer at Matterform. This hands-on workshop will cover specific and practical cybersecurity controls that small business owners can implement, right away, to improve their security and reduce their risk of cybercrime.

Cyber attacks against small businesses have more than tripled since 2011. But unfortunately, many best practices are geared towards large enterprises or government organizations. Even worse is the climate of paranoia that generates unrealistic advice that no one could actually follow. Faced with this kind of complexity, small business owners may assume that real cybersecurity is out of their reach, so they give up and just hope for the best.

The good news is that cybersecurity doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Join us to learn three specific, mission-critical improvements that you can implement for your small business right away."
