About the event

Small businesses must remain vigilant about cybercrime, such as phishing or business e-mail compromise attempts. Not only are smaller companies less likely than large firms to have adequate cybersecurity, but the FBI reports that cybercrime exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic, with cases up nearly 300 percent in April 2020.

This free webinar discusses the cybercrimes small businesses face, with an emphasis on how they have changed during the pandemic. Attendees will also learn what they can do to protect their business, particularly as working and schooling from home becomes more prevalent.
