Hosted by Business Matchmaking & the U.S. Small Business Administration, Moderated by Chuck Ashman

You lock your car and you safeguard your home.  Now’s the time to protect the information, data, records and technology that your company relies upon.  According to officials at the U.S. Department of Justice, cybercriminals have doubled their attacks on smaller companies, with entrepreneurs increasingly becoming targets.  At this forum you’ll hear presentations from private and public sector experts with a vested interest in helping secure small businesses from cyber threats.

According to Attorney General Kamala Harris, “The unique aspect of technology is that it knows no jurisdictional boundary.  We want to ensure internet crimes don’t drop off simply because it wasn’t clear for local law enforcement, or the consumer, where to go because an incident occured in the cloud.”
