Cybersecurity is complex and not something most people have a lot of time or energy to focus on. Unfortunately, cybersecurity risk is not something that can be addressed simply by purchasing a magic bean or offloading it onto a service provider. This interactive discussion will highlight what small business owners need to know about cybersecurity, without the technical jargon. You will learn how to manage cybersecurity as a business risk, what to look out for in a self-assessment, how emerging trends in the regulatory and contracting space could impact your business, and some very basic activities you can do to better protect your business.

Presented by Celia Paulsen, Cybersecurity Services Lead, NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership.  Co-hosted by the Alaska Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) and the Alaska MEP.

Who should attend?  Cybersecurity is a topic relevant to all business owners regardless of the size of your business.  Whether you are looking at cybersecurity contract compliance requirements or just to protect your company financial and intellectual property – this weber is your start point.
