​Attendees can expect a practical, small-business-focused walkthrough of today’s fraud and cyber threat landscape, the most common attack types, and concrete prevention steps they can apply immediately.

​~Why fraud and cyber risk are increasing for businesses of all sizes—and which industries are commonly targeted.

​~The major attack categories to watch for (e.g., phishing/SMiShing/vishing, ransomware, business email compromise, and social engineering) and how they typically work.

​~How to spot red flags in suspicious emails, texts, and calls—plus “think before you click/respond” habits like checking links before engaging.

​~What ransomware is, common ways it gets into organizations (e.g., malicious emails, compromised credentials, exploited vulnerabilities), and core steps to reduce exposure (backups, patching, segmentation, testing plans).

​~A practical “defend your business” checklist covering password hygiene, email/link caution, device and software updates, network separation, and safer use of public Wi‑Fi/VPNs.
