Cyber security seminar aimed at small business operators

SANBORN — A cyber security seminar for local small businesses will be rolled out next week.

Teaming up to offer the free seminar on Tuesday morning are the Better Business Bureau, Niagara Small Business Development Center, Niagara USA Chamber, state Sen. Robert Ortt, U.S. Rep. Chris Collins and AT&T.

The purpose is to inform business operators how to avoid getting hacked and what to do if they are hacked.

Statistics show 60 percent of small businesses that experience a cyber security or data breach will fail within six months of an attack, according to Warren E. Clark, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau.

“(The information) is critical for any business to know; there is just so much for them to deal with and it’s only getting worse,” he said. For the full article click here
