All sorts of small businesses are being targeted. Mom and pop businesses all the way up to multi-unit <a title=\"cyber-attacks on franchise businesses\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/cyber-attacks-franchise-owners-worry\"><strong>franchise businesses<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0can sometimes bear the brunt of cyber-attacks. But, why are small businesses targeted?<\/p>\n<p>From <a title=\"small business cyber attacks\" href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2015\/10\/small-business-cyber-attack-risk.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Small Business Trends:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>The reason cyber attackers target small businesses is simple: it\u2019s easier. They\u2019re often less secure, with a smaller security budget, and the mindset that they\u2019re too insignificant to attract attention. Given that most attacks are fully automated, these attackers can make it through a small business\u2019s defenses much faster than they can a larger corporation, allowing them to target more companies in a shorter period of time<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important for small business owners and managers to take advantage of cybersecurity educational events whenever possible. Like the one coming up this week as part of <strong>National Small Business Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>A Cybersecurity Panel Discussion<\/h2>\n<p>From 11:00 am-Noon, ET, current small business\/franchise owners, IT department managers-anyone who needs to be aware of the latest cybersecurity threats, can watch the panel discussion live.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Future franchise business owners should watch the discussion, too.

In an effort to help keep your small business secure, tune in live as SBA Deputy Administrator Doug Kramer along with experts from Microsoft, ADP, and ESET discuss cybersecurity tips and trends<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Watch It Live<\/h2>\n<p>The U.S. Small Business Administration (<em>SBA<\/em>) is making it easy for anyone with an internet connection to watch the <strong>Cybersecurity Panel Discussion<\/strong> live.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Viewing Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To watch this event, go to the SBA website and <strong><a title=\"sba national business week link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/nsbw\" target=\"_blank\">click this link<\/a>. <\/strong>In addition, you can follow the discussion on Twitter-and even join in.
