Cyber Security - Be Aware and Be Prepared

Description

In an era where digital threats evolve faster than the software meant to stop them, staying "offline" isn't an option—but staying protected is. Join Dasia Johnson, Ohio APEX Accelerator Specialist, and Ed Slusarski, President of RYSS LLC, for a comprehensive two-hour deep dive into the essentials of modern cybersecurity.

This workshop is specifically designed for small business owners, government contractors, and professionals who need to navigate the complexities of data protection without getting lost in the jargon. 

Key Takeaways: 

The Threat Landscape: Understand current trends in phishing, ransomware, and social engineering—and why small businesses are often the primary targets. 

Compliance & Requirements: Dasia Johnson will break down the latest cybersecurity standards required for government contracting (including CMMC insights) and how to keep your business eligible for prime opportunities. 

Practical Defense Strategies: Ed Slusarski will share actionable, low-cost/high-impact steps to harden your network and protect your proprietary data. 

Incident Response: Learn what to do in the "golden hour" after a suspected breach to minimize damage and recovery time.
