The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), a nonprofit public-private partnership focused on helping all digital citizens stay safer and more secure online, is coming to the San Jose metropolitan area with its STOP. THINK. CONNECT. Two Steps Ahead: Protect Your Digital Life tour to educate businesses about adopting simple security measures like two-step authentication, training employees to be more cyber aware, and finding resources needed to improve data security.
The event, which takes place on Tuesday, August 9th at The Tech Museum of Innovation (201 S Market St, San Jose, CA 95113), is part of a national tour to generate much-needed awareness about activating easily implemented security features, like two-step authentication, available on many of the Internet’s most popular sites. Rachel Wilner, Vice President for Media and Community, for The Tech Museum of Innovation will kick-off the morning with welcome remarks, highlighting the museum’s “Cyber Detectives” exhibit, the nation’s first interactive exhibit designed to help visitors learn about Internet safety. The morning will feature a hands-on demonstration educating attendees on how to improve employee and business security, and a panel discussion with local business protection and cybersecurity experts will follow.

Many SMBs don’t hire IT or technical security people because of cost or a lack of awareness about the cybersecurity vulnerabilities their businesses face. For the full article click here
