NOTE: The Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce's Board of Directors has adopted a COVID-19 vaccine requirement to attend any in-person Chamber meetings or events. To read the full policy, click here.
Cybercriminals aren?t only going after big corporations. For every Equifax or Colonial Pipeline you read about in the news, there are thousands of small businesses that have had their sensitive company or customer information compromised.
Cybercrime continues to plague every one of us, yet most small businesses have no digital security strategy at all. With almost every piece of our lives available on the internet, protecting it MUST be a top priority!
Fight against the latest known threats and vulnerabilities by learning the top 5 simple, no-cost actions you can do right now to protect your digital assets, users, customers and business.
All attendees will receive a FREE USB Cloud Encryption key.
