### The SMB Cybersecurity Survival Guide: 5 Shifts to Protect Your Business

A practical, no-fluff briefing for small and midsize business (SMB) leaders — featuring real local breach stories and five critical security shifts to make now.

**Why Attend:**

Cyberattacks are no longer just enterprise issues — they’re hitting SMBs every day, and most aren’t ready.

60% of small businesses close within six months of a cyberattack. This session will show how to avoid becoming part of that statistic.
