NYC Small Business Services Commissioner Gregg Bishop stated that, “In order to ensure the growth of our businesses as they advance in the future, Cybersecurity demands focus and dedication. Cybersecurity protects the data and integrity of computing assets belonging to or connecting to an organization’s network. This important gathering is to defend those assets against all threats related to cyber-attacks.”
President Vincent Boudreau adds, “It is of vital importance that we provide our students, faculty and administrative staff the most current information that will fight against threatening our data resources. We are extremely focused on developing and supporting our emerging leaders with a broader and more strategic understanding of the critical role that cyber risk management plays in organizational growth and success.”
According to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, “Now, more than ever, all small businesses need to focus on awareness and safeguard data protection. Effective security strategies rely on employee awareness. All employees need to understand what types of threats are possible and how it will affect their business.”
