Expert Tips to Avoid Cybercrime

What it means: NFIB’s recent webinar dives into tips to protect your business from cybercrime. Takeaway: “What is the secret to cybersecurity? I learned it. I dealt with a thousand cybercrime victims and what did I discover? A majority of them could have been prevented if my end users had the right pieces of knowledge. I still to this day deal with victims,” explains webinar guest expert Scott Augenbaum.
