Women in Business: Presentation by CyberGlobal CO

Cybersecurity as a Growth Strategy – Protecting What You’re Building Why Cybersecurity? Cybersecurity is not just an IT function – it’s a business imperative. Technology enables growth, scalability, flexibility, and innovation in business environments. But the same digital systems that enable operations can also disrupt them if left unprotected. Ransomware, data breaches, and vendor compromises disproportionately impact small and mid-sized business, halting operations and damaging trust overnight. A mature cybersecurity program is now: · A growth milestone · A compliance requirement across many industries · A prerequisite for contracts, partnerships, and insurance · Increasingly complex with the rise of AI and automation Objective The purpose of this presentation is to empower both organizations and individuals to understand their cyber risk, and more importantly, how to operate and grow safely in today’s digital environment. We transform what is typically a technical and fear-based topic into an approachable, engaging, and practical conversation. Attendees will walk away with: · A clearer understanding of real-world cyber risks · Insight into common misconceptions (e.g., “We have monitoring, so we’re covered”) · Understand cybersecurity as a business, growth, and financial protection strategy · Actionable steps to increase resilience – whether they are a solopreneur, small business owner, or leaders in larger organizations What’s Included: · Cybersecurity concepts presented with audience participation and relatable, easy-to-understand analogies. No technical background required. · A brief, high-level look at the intelligence tools attackers use to identify and target small business, paired with practical safeguards that reduce exposure and risk. · A practical guide for digital protection for each attendee that covers both business and individual best practices and is designed for non-technical individuals to implement. · Attendees will have the opportunity to schedule complimentary consultations with a quick cyber hygiene review, and the option to run a complimentary website or external vulnerability scan. The goal is to inform and empower – never to alarm. The session is educational, vendor-neutral, and designed to create confidence – not anxiety. We address common gaps in understanding that leave businesses vulnerable and practical tools that equip leaders to safeguard their organizations and support sustainable growth.
