Description:
The small business community is a large portion of the U.S. and global economy and is also largely under-resourced when it comes to building strong cyber defenses. The efficient use, or prioritization, of limited resources is critical. Speakers from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will share how to identify cybersecurity risks that small businesses commonly face and will share practical and actionable cybersecurity safeguards that can significantly reduce cybersecurity risks and that typically do not take significant time, financial investment, or technical expertise to implement.
Ample time will be saved for audience questions and discussion.
Speakers:
- Colleen P. Ferranti, Assistant Section Chief, Cyber Engagement & Intelligence Section, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
- Christine Serrano Glassner, Chief External Affairs Officer, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
- Daniel Eliot, Lead for Small Business Engagement, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
