Cybersecurity is about how we protect our information, but do we ever stop to ask ourselves what we’re protecting and why? Your company likely collects customer, employee and proprietary information, so the responsibility to protect the data and respond in the event of a cybercrime is yours. This isn’t a big company problem.

Data privacy issues and data breaches happen to small and mid-sized businesses all the time and can put your company’s reputation and ability to do business at risk.

This 30-minute live discussion led by Alex Nette, one of the leading cybersecurity experts for small-medium businesses, takes you through a critical examination of your business practices with respect to data privacy and brand protection.
- Do you really need to be collecting all this information?
- Do you understand your risk points?
- Are you in compliance with privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA) and cybersecurity best practices?
- What if something goes wrong?

Alex wants every business to benefit from the same strategy and tactics that large enterprises employ. In this webinar, he draws on years of experience in protecting critical data to share a perspective on how to look at your data practices and where to start.
