Lock it Down! Cyber Security Basics for Small Business Owners

Join the Ringwood Chamber of Commerce for an important and practical business lunch focused on cybersecurity for small business owners.

Cybersecurity is no longer just a “big business” problem. If you accept credit cards, store customer information, use email, manage passwords, take online payments, or have business files on your computer, your business has information that needs to be protected.

Guest speaker Chris Pohts will walk us through simple, realistic steps every business owner should understand to better protect their data, their customers, and their reputation.

We’ll cover topics including:

Proper handling of customer credit card information
Protecting your business data from hackers
Keeping your personal and business information off the dark web
Password safety and two-factor authentication
Backing up important business information
Email safety, scams, and common cyber threats
Practical steps you can take right away, even if you are not “techy”

This event is designed for small business owners, local professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone who handles customer information or business data.
