SBDC Special Workshop — Cybersecurity in the Age of AI

SPECIAL WORKSHOP :

Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: Protecting Your Business in 2026

NEXT WEDNESDAY | NO-COST | LIMITED SEATING

The cyber threats targeting businesses today aren’t the same ones you were worried about a year ago.

Artificial intelligence has changed the game.

From hyper-realistic phishing emails and business email compromise to ransomware attacks that can cripple operations, the threats facing small and mid-sized businesses are becoming more sophisticated, more convincing, and more frequent. The question is no longer if your business will be targeted. It’s whether you’ll be prepared.

Join the Florida SBDC at FGCU for this timely, no-cost workshop featuring Arlyn and Mike Knox of Knox Technology, a trusted Southwest Florida technology partner helping local businesses build smarter, safer, and more resilient operations. Founded on supporting contractors and professional service firms throughout the region, Knox Technology specializes in proactive IT strategies designed to prevent problems before they happen and keep businesses growing with confidence. Their mission is simple: help Southwest Florida businesses thrive through practical, reliable technology solutions.

You’ll learn:
• How AI is making phishing, ransomware, and social engineering attacks more dangerous than ever
• The most common security gaps found in small businesses and how to address them
• What “good security” actually looks like in 2026
• How cyber insurance requirements are changing and what insurers now expect
• Practical, budget-conscious steps you can implement immediately to reduce risk

Donuts and coffee will be provided.
