While cybersecurity is a concern among all businesses, the majority of all targeted cyberattacks in the past year were directed at small and mid-sized businesses. The Cisco 2018 Security Capabilities Benchmark Study found that more than half (54 percent) of all cyberattacks result in financial damages of more than US$500,000 including, but not limited to, lost revenue, customers, opportunities, and out-of-pocket costs. That amount is enough to put an unprepared small/mid-market business out of operation—permanently which is why 60% of small businesses which suffered a cyberattack went out of business within six months.

AEDC Manufacturing Solutions, in partnership with the FBI, Arvest Bank and Citadel Systems and the Arkansas World Trade Center, will host a Cybersecurity and Fraud seminar for small and medium-sized businesses on Wednesday, December 12, 2019 at the Arkansas World Trade Center in Rogers, AR.
