Cybersecurity is one of the main threats to small business today. To be better prepared, we've partnered with the LSU Cyber Clinic to offer a three-session seminar to help you understand what's at risk:

Session 1: "What are your Crown Jewels?" This seminar focuses on identifying key technologies and data crucial to your business. Participants will learn strategies to assess and prioritize critical assets, including proprietary technology, sensitive customer data, and essential operational systems. By understanding the value and importance of these assets, businesses can better allocate resources for protection and develop robust cybersecurity measures.

Session 2: "The Danger of Information Exposure" This session delves into the risks associated with information exposure and the potential consequences for businesses. Participants will explore various avenues through which sensitive information can be compromised, including data breaches, insider threats, and inadvertent disclosures. The session emphasizes the importance of implementing comprehensive security measures, such as encryption, access controls, and employee training, to mitigate risks.

Session 3: "Stay Current: The Art of Software Patching" In this session, participants will learn about the significance of software patching to address vulnerabilities and mitigate the risk of exploitation by malicious actors. Participants will gain insights into best practices for managing software updates, including patch prioritization, testing procedures, and deployment strategies. By staying current with software patches, businesses can enhance their security posture and reduce the likelihood of cyberattacks.
