Critical IT Security Protections EVERY Business

Must Have in Place NOW



Wednesday, May 29, 2024, from 10:00 to 11:00 AM - Registration opens at 9:30 AM

Holiday Inn - Royal Henley Ballroom - 327 Ontario St, St. Catharines, ON L2R 5L3

 

On May 29th, Bryan Lachapelle, CEO of B4 Networks, and Michael O’Connor, Vice President of Cyber at Sovereign General Insurance, will hold a complimentary seminar that we are certain all NCA members will want to attend.

 

During this session, they will share some alarming news about cybersecurity threats you must protect your company from.

 

We can practically guarantee you’re NOT aware of these new threats and, therefore, are a “sitting duck” for a security breach and the headaches that can come with them, such as fines, loss of clients, reputation damage, financial cost of recovery and remediation, and more.

 

The good news is that there are some SIMPLE protections and precautions you can put in place to drastically reduce your chances of being a victim – which is what we’ll show you at this event.

 

It’s not a matter of “IF” it happens; it’s a matter of “WHEN”

Make sure you have taken the proper precautions.
