Build an Information Security Strategy for Small Enterprises
Large threats target small enterprises. Protect and defend your organization against the inevitability of cyberattack.
Book This Workshop
Information security can no longer be an afterthought for small enterprises.
- The threat of cyberattack and data breach is growing, and small enterprises are becoming a bigger target.
- Responsibility for the organization’s security is misunderstood and unorganized.
- A single attack can be enough to put a small enterprise out of business.
Building an information security strategy will allow your organization to:
- Come to a shared understanding of the threats facing the organization and their impact on the business.
- Assess the organization’s current ability to mitigate these threats and uncover vulnerabilities.
- Build an actionable roadmap to achieve the target state information security practice to defend against the inevitable.
