Lunch & Learn: Cybersecurity for Local Businesses: Practical Steps to Protect Against the Rising Threats

Cybersecurity is no longer an issue for large corporations alone—recent attacks in Texas have shown that local businesses are increasingly being targeted. For example:

• City of Dallas ransomware attack (2023) disrupted municipal services for weeks.
• Houston-based healthcare providers have faced breaches exposing sensitive patient data.
• Small businesses across Texas have been victims of phishing and business email compromise schemes, leading to financial losses and reputational damage.

These incidents underscore the urgent need for businesses of all sizes to take cybersecurity seriously.

Join us as Dr. Stephen Mujete, Program Director for Computer Information Systems and Security Practical AI at Sam Houston State University presents information to empower local businesses with knowledge and tools to safeguard operations.
