Oct 18, 2017 – Ransomware, phishing, hacks via social media, and other data breaches are expensive cybersecurity lessons for solo practices and small firms.

What does it take to defend your practice and your firm from cyber threats? Watch live as a “cybercriminal” hacks into a computer network – and learn where your vulnerabilities are. It's all part of the plenary session "Don’t Be a Target: Cybersecurity," with Joseph Granneman, founder and CEO of illumination.io, a cybersecurity consulting firm that focuses on defending, detecting, and preventing cyber attacks.

The session takes place Oct. 26 at the 2017 Wisconsin Solo & Small Firm Conference at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, which runs Oct. 26-28.

Granneman will show how quickly and easily a cybercriminal can get your information and demonstrate phishing, a web server attack, and how easily he can "crack" a password.

Learn easy and no-cost tips to protect valuable information. From password strength to encryption to wireless considerations, you will come away with strategies you can use immediately.
