It has been well documented over the news and the scholarly research outlets that data breaches are continuing to impact organizations of all sizes. While larger organizations have Information Technology (IT) Security teams to mitigate such threats, while ensuring the organization is prepared for cyber-attacks, Small to Medium Businesses (SMBs) are lacking awareness, knowledge, and competencies of cybersecurity. However, it is still unclear the current level of risk to cyber-attacks and the cybersecurity preparedness of SMBs.
In this presentation, Dr. Yair Levy, Professor of Information Systems and Cybersecurity at the College of Computing and Engineering (CCE), at Nova Southeastern University (NSU), and the Director of the Center for Information Protection, Education, and Research (CIPhER) will highlight the importance of SMBs to the world economy. Additionally, he will touch on some of the key cyber threats that Small to Medium Businesses (SMBs) face, and issues currently observed related to SMBs cybersecurity including supply chain cybersecurity.
