Cybersecurity Program

Cyber-attacks are a growing threat for small businesses and the U.S. economy. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Report, the cost of cybercrimes reached $2.7 billion in 2020 alone.

As a small business owner, you are likely aware of news about data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other cybersecurity concerns. However, you may not have someone on staff to help you navigate those challenges and help you figure out how to make your customer, employee, and vendor data more secure and protected from attacks.

The Virginia SBDC Cybersecurity Program helps small business owners understand the cybersecurity threats they face and how to mitigate them. The Cybersecurity Program offers:

• One-on-one counseling to develop a custom plan to help a small business determine their technical needs and how to protect their systems.

• Self-assessment materials, including step-by-step resources to use in daily operations.

• Webinars and cybersecurity livestreams on relevant topics.
