The event, called CT Business Security Summit, aims to help business owners learn to better safeguard information relating to their businesses, employees and clients.

The keynote speaker will be Brian Rauer, executive director and general counsel for the New York Better Business Bureau.

“This event is a great way to reach out to local business owners within our community to educate and create awareness for current security issues,” said Greg Kyrytschenko, an adjunct professor of computer science and information technology at SHU and associate director of its graduate master’s program in cybersecurity.

Attendees will learn about and discuss essential information for a company to protect themselves against cyber-attacks, including:

  • Creating a strategic business protection plan
  • Identifying current and future cyber risks
  • Protecting employee and client data
  • Protecting money and transactions
  • What to do if attacked (i.e., creating an incident response preparedness plan)

This fall, SHU launched a master’s program in cybersecurity, designed to provide students with an introduction to information security, risk and threat management.
