💡 Why This Matters for Main Street Businesses

Small businesses are increasingly targeted by cyber threats such as phishing emails, ransomware attacks, and stolen login credentials. For downtown retailers, service providers, restaurants, and professional offices, a single incident can disrupt operations, compromise customer trust, and create unexpected costs.

This session is designed specifically for small businesses and focuses on real-world risks and practical steps that can be taken without a large IT budget or technical background.

  • The current cybersecurity landscape affecting small businesses
