The Small Business Administration (SBA) will be holding its first online Cyber Summit on Wednesday, October 26 from noon to 5 p.m. ET. The Summit is specifically designed for small businesses and will help introduce them to tools, tips, and resources to bolster their cybersecurity infrastructure in addition to exploring new trends and challenges entrepreneurs are increasingly facing.
SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman has convened many of the industry’s top cybersecurity experts who will speak candidly about the security issues American businesses face in an increasingly online world, and will offer their solutions to mitigate risk.
“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 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."
