What happens the moment your business gets hit by a cyberattack? Most small business owners don't have a plan — and that's exactly when it costs the most.

In this session, cybersecurity expert Cyrus J. Walker (CCFE) walks small business owners through the fundamentals of incident response planning: what it is, why it matters, and what steps you need in place before an attack happens — not after.

You'll learn:

- What an incident response plan actually includes

- The decisions you'll have to make in the first 24 hours after an attack

- Why small businesses are prime targets — and what attackers are looking for

- How to start building your plan without a dedicated IT team
