KC Game Plan: Cyber Ready Series

Cybersecurity training for small businesses to strengthen digital resilience before Kansas City welcomes the world.

Practical Steps to Cybersecurity for Your Small Business

This beginner-friendly training introduces business owners and operators to the essentials of cybersecurity — what it is, how today’s threats operate, and the practical steps you can take to protect your business.

Designed for both technical and non-technical audiences, the session is organized around five essential functions of a strong cybersecurity program:

Identify • Protect • Detect • Respond • Recover

Participants will learn how to:

• Identify critical business assets and areas of vulnerability
• Implement practical safeguards to reduce cyber risk
• Detect suspicious activity before it escalates
• Develop a simple incident response plan
• Recover quickly and maintain business continuity

The training also addresses the elevated cyber risks that often accompany large international events — including increased phishing attempts, payment fraud, data breaches, and operational disruptions.

No technical background required — just actionable steps to help your business operate confidently and securely as Kansas City steps onto the global stage.
