SBA CYBER SUMMIT
Free Virtual Event
Wednesday, October 26
11 am – 4 pm CT (12 pm – 5 pm ET)
Cyberattacks cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars a year and pose a big threat to small businesses. During the SBA Cyber Summit on October 26, you’ll learn how to adequately protect your digital systems for storing, accessing, and disseminating data and information.
“America’s small businesses are pivoting to digital technologies and online strategies at historic rates to reach new customers and improve operational efficiencies, but that pivot has also exposed them to significant new threats from cyberattacks,” said SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman. “Our SBA team has mobilized to support them against these potentially disruptive threats with cybersecurity resources and trainings across our resource partner networks, as well as through our recently launched Small Business Digital Alliance. Launching the SBA’s first annual Cybersecurity Summit will help us build on that work and ensure America’s 33 million small businesses and innovative startups can pivot safely online and grow resilient businesses.”
