Speaker series event explores cyber security for small businesses
The City of Kitchener, in collaboration with the Waterloo Region Small Business Centre (WRSBC), hosts a free monthly speaker series called SDG Talks. The series explores the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and how small actions can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient business community. This year’s theme, Purpose and Profit, highlights practical ways businesses can strengthen their operations while creating meaningful impact.
Join us for our upcoming talk, Protecting Your Business in a Digital World, on Monday, June 22, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the SDG Idea Factory, 2 King St. W., Kitchener.
Dmitri Pasricha, founder and Cyber Security Coach at TechSet, will facilitate this informative talk. With over 18 years of experience across global technology roles, Dmitri has supported local non-profits to Fortune 500 executives in navigating evolving digital risks. Known for simplifying complex cybersecurity concepts, Dmitri focuses on helping individuals, families and businesses build digital peace of mind, without the jargon.
This interactive session is designed for small business owners and teams looking to take a proactive, accessible approach to cybersecurity. No technical background is required. Participants will leave with a better understanding of practical, easy-to-implement strategies to protect their business:
-
Auditing key business assets
-
Securing devices, networks and accounts
-
Planning for backups and cyber incidents
-
Reviewing trusted resources to stay informed
