Save the Date (September 26) for the Idaho Cyber Security Summit!
Did you know that hackers strike every 39 seconds, with 43% of these attacks targeting small businesses? Small businesses are at a higher risk, and three times more likely to be attacked by cyber criminals than larger companies. Many cyber attacks can be prevented with the right resources, information, and preparation, enabling businesses to respond and recover effectively in the event of an incident.
The Idaho Small Business Cyber Security Summit is a one-of-a-kind, event designed for small businesses seeking innovative solutions to protect their company's critical infrastructure. This summit offers both in-person and virtual opportunities for business leaders to learn about the latest cyber threat landscape. It also facilitates direct connections with solutions, subject matter experts, and local resources to evaluate industry solutions.
The Idaho Small Business Cybersecurity Summit is scheduled for Thursday, September 26 at the Idaho Response Center (IRC), Chinden Campus Building 8, located at 11331 W. Chinden Blvd, Boise, ID 83714. This free event will equip attendees with resources to prevent and manage cyber attacks.
The summit offers both morning and afternoon sessions, with in-person and virtual attendance options. The morning session runs from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. MT, and the afternoon session from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. MT. Note that both sessions will cover the same information, so attending one is sufficient.

We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Health Tech Idaho Quarterly Event, happening on September 26th from 5:30-7:00 PM at Hillfort Farm (88 S. Cotterell Dr., Boise, ID 83709).
