Cyber Resilience in Action, A Hands-On Experience for Small Business

What would you do if today was the day your small business was the victim of a cybersecurity attack?

Please join us in person for a high-stakes cybersecurity exercise for small business owners. No tech background needed. No jargon. Just real talk.

If your business operates using a phone, email, a Facebook page, a website, or an app that accepts payments, you already possess everything a cybercriminal needs. You don’t have to be a tech company to be at risk; you simply need to be open for business.

THIS IS FOR YOU, IF:

• You use email, Facebook, Instagram, Square, Venmo, QuickBooks, or any app to run your business
• You've ever thought, “I'm too small to be a target”
• You don't have an IT person — you ARE the IT person
• You couldn't answer right now: “Who would I call if my business got hacked?”

Pizza shops. Contractors. Home-based businesses. Hair salons. Junk haulers. Consultants. Flower shops. If you run a business, this workshop was built for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

This is not a lecture. There are no slides filled with technical terms, and no one will make you feel overwhelmed.

WHAT IT IS:

You and a table of fellow business owners live through a small business's worst day in real time — reading the story round-robin, hitting the same split-second decisions the owner faces, and working it out at the table as the stakes get higher.

WHAT YOU WILL LEAVE WITH:

• The ability to spot the warning signs most owners miss until it's already costly
• A clear picture of the 2–3 actions that matter most in the first ten minutes
• One practical change you can make this week that significantly reduces your risk
• A simple written action plan to take back to your business
