Cyber-Security Awareness for Businesses

This workshop is especially designed for small businesses and not-for-profit organizations. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore practical tools and techniques that can help you assess, enhance, and maintain the security of your business systems and information. You will participate in an interactive session, hear from university panelists, and connect with resources to learn more about: • How to protect your business from intentional attacks or unintentional damage by well-meaning employees • How to guard against the embarrassment, legal liability, or decreased productivity of security breaches • How to evaluate security tools and techniques based on your business needs. The morning's Agenda also includes a panel discussion about Cyber Security resources for your business from JMU, information for connecting with student interns or employees, a demonstration by the JMU Cyber Defense Club, and the "Top 10" Cyber Security Threats you need to be aware of today.
