November 3, 2026 - AI-Proof Your Business: Outsmart Everyday Cyber Threats

Most small-to-medium business owners assume strong cybersecurity requires complex software or expensive IT departments, but today's biggest vulnerabilities are operational and human. As scammers leverage accessible AI to generate hyper-personalized messages and clone voices, locking your digital doors requires practical strategy rather than purely technical tools. 

Join us for an interactive Business Growth Academy workshop designed to cut through the tech jargon and give your business a simple, effective security playbook.

Participants will learn to:

• Decode AI-Era Threats and spot AI-generated phishing, fake executive messages, and voice cloning before they impact your operations.
• Execute a 10-minute safety audit and configure three critical security settings in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace to eliminate most entry points.
• Deploy a simple framework to secure employee departures, manage third-party apps, and safely handle company data on staff-owned phones.
• Establish clear internal guidelines to prevent staff from accidentally leaking confidential business data into public AI engines.
• Build Your Human Firewall by Training and motivating your team to serve as an active line of defence using zero-cost learning techniques.

Christian Newman of Rise Digital will facilitate this session, breaking down complex technical topics into clear, practical steps for business leaders.
