B2B Breakfast Meeting
Wednesday, May 10th

Join us Wednesday, May 10th at 7:30 a.m. in the Rotary Office Training Room for a breakfast meeting hosted by the B2B Committee.
Guest speaker will be Rochester Rotarian Cheryl Nelan, President of CMIT Solutions of Monroe. Cheryl will discuss Protecting Your Data and Keeping the Bad Guys Out.

Your entire business is on your computer. All the data about your clients, your vendors, your employees. You know your business would be lost without it. But, what is the risk that anyone would try to steal it? It's never happened before, so should you be worried about it? Truth is, it is happening every day to small businesses just like yours. Thieves have learned that your data is valuable and it is usually not as well protected as the big guys. So, what can you do about it? How do you protect yourself and all your clients and employees from their data getting into the wrong people's hands?

Attendees will learn what other businesses are doing today to secure their data and protect their clients. The session will get past the hype and give real world examples as well as simple advice to help business owners take the right steps towards improving security and protecting against fraud. It will help owners understand the risks but also give them some ideas for how to manage it within their budgets.

Space is limited so we ask that you please register by clicking on the link below. The cost is $10 per person.
