This cybersecurity forum, a first for the agency, will help introduce American small businesses to tools, tips, and resources to bolster their cybersecurity infrastructure in addition to exploring new trends and challenges entrepreneurs are increasingly facing."America's small businesses are pivoting to digital technologies and online strategies at historic rates to reach new customers and improve operational efficiencies, but that pivot has also exposed them to significant new threats from cyberattacks,” said SBA Administrator Guzman. “Our SBA team has mobilized to support them against these potentially disruptive threats with cybersecurity resources and trainings across our resource partner networks, as well as through our recently launched Small Business Digital Alliance. Launching the SBA’s first annual Cybersecurity Summit will help us build on that work and ensure America's 33 million small businesses and innovative startups can pivot safely online and grow resilient businesses."A﻿GENDA (all times EDT and tentative)N﻿oon - Welcome by SBA Administrator1﻿2:10 PM - Small Business Roundtable with Mark Madrid, SBA1﻿2:35 PM - SBA Administrator and Microsoft President Executive Exchange1﻿2:55 PM - Small Business Development Center Directors1﻿:20 PM - Cyber Attack!
