DETROIT – An educational event to show small to medium-sized businesses how to protect their clients’ data from cyberattack will be held Sept. 12 at Bamboo Detroit by Auxiom. And the best part is SMBS-101 is free.
“Small and medium-sized businesses are extremely vulnerable to coming under attack,” said Auxiom CEO Matt Loria. “Especially because they think ‘bad guys’ won’t bother with a company of their size. Little do they know that ‘bad guys’ are constantly ‘knocking,’ looking for an open door or window, until they get in their systems.”
An educational event to help safeguard small and medium-sized businesses and their clients’ data, the discussion will center on how these companies can take a proactive and cost-effective approach to mitigating the risk of cyberattack—such as the recent WannaCry and Petya outbreaks that brought businesses around the globe to a standstill.
Types of cyberattacks, including ransomware, malware, viruses and more, will be examined as well as exploration of the security of cloud products and other system vulnerabilities of which most business owners and leaders are unaware.
The event will be from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the Julian C. Madison Building at Bamboo Detroit, 1420 Washington Blvd., #301.The seminar is open to the public with seating on a first-come, first-served basis.
