Online Event: Smarter Scams: Cybersecurity for Small Businesses in the Age of AI

Description

AI has given criminals better tools. Phishing emails no longer arrive full of typos. A cloned voice on the phone can sound exactly like your CFO, and an employee who pastes a contract into a free chatbot may have just handed it to a company you never vetted. Small businesses absorb a disproportionate share of these attacks because they rarely have the defenses larger firms rely on.

In this 90-minute session, we will look at how the threats have changed and what you can do about them, starting with steps that cost little or nothing.

What Attendees Will Learn

• How attackers use AI to make phishing and impersonation more convincing
• Why small businesses are prime targets and why "we're too small" is a dangerous assumption
• How to create and store strong passwords and protect accounts with multi-factor authentication
• Which systems to secure first and what kind of protection each one needs
• How to set rules for AI use so employees and vendors don't leak your data
• What to do in the first hours of a ransomware attack and how backups determine whether you recover

Attendees will leave with a checklist they can start working through the next day.
