Our workshop

Cybersecurity Foundations Workshop

90 minutes, on site in the Tampa Bay area or online, for business owners, managers and their teams. Four lessons, in plain business terms.

01

How small businesses actually get hit

Phishing, business email compromise, ransomware, account takeover and vendor payment fraud. The costliest one often looks like a normal invoice.

  • New bank details sent by email
  • "Payment before close of business"
  • The fix: call a known number, get a second approval
02

The essential eight

Eight controls every small business should have. Most are switched on in an afternoon.

  • MFA, unique passwords, automatic updates
  • Endpoint protection, payment verification
  • Backups with restore tests, least privilege, a one-page incident plan
03

Safe use of AI

A traffic-light rule your whole team can remember, and what to check before trusting an AI service.

  • Green: public information, brainstorming
  • Yellow: internal context, approved business AI only
  • Red: passwords, card data, customer lists, never
04

Monday morning: five things to do

Practical next steps that cost little or nothing.

  • Turn on MFA everywhere it matters
  • Ask IT about SPF, DKIM and DMARC
  • Restore one file, require callbacks, approve your AI tools
