Description

Bow Valley Chamber Speaker Series: Small Business Cyber Security Survival Guide

Canada is a country of entrepreneurs with 97.9% of all businesses here being small businesses. Roughly 64% of Canada's employed workforce work at a small business making them a significant part of Canada's economy. 

In recent years, criminals have been increasingly targeting and impacting small businesses in our country with phishing, ransomware, and a variety of other scams. This past spring Calgary Police indicated that cybercrime was up 174% since 2017 and is massively underreported

When these attacks are successful, they cost small businesses dearly and even can become a business ending event. Without some basic upfront planning, your ability to defend and recover from these attacks is going to be painful. 

Most small businesses have limited IT expertise available to them and even less access to cybersecurity professionals. The good news is that embracing the cyber security basics and fostering a culture of security amongst your employees will help prevent most attacks from becoming a very bad day. 

During this Bow Valley Chamber Speaker Series John Hewie will provide you with practical knowledge to help improve the resilience of your small business to cyber attacks and fraud including:


  • Who is behind cyber attacks on small businesses in Canada and how they operate
  • Cybersecurity basics and recommendations for small businesses
  • People are your first line of defence - fostering a culture of cybersecurity
  • Reporting cybercrime and fraud
