About the event

Cybersecurity awareness
Presented by Murray Shabestari with PowerData Solutions Inc.

Cybersecurity awareness:
No matter what size business, cybersecurity is a must. It includes incident response, cyber hygiene, social engineering and streamlining operations; reducing costs in IT, vendor contracts, outdated subscriptions and making sure tools talk to each other and data isn’t siloed; and making critical projects manageable when you’re short on time or staff.

In 90 minutes, you’ll learn:
- Cybersecurity basics
- Risk management
- Cybersecurity framework
- Small business cybersecurity resources
- AI and security

About Murray:

Before starting his own business in 2019, Murray spent 20 years helping both private sectors and government agencies to improve and streamline their operations. Murray holds a bachelor’s degree in computer information systems and a master’s degree in business administration. Between 2002 and 2019, he restructured the business operations of numerous Minnesota state government agencies, built the IT infrastructure of the Minnesota Sex Offender Program and improved state government’s cybersecurity posture. He also led various projects at Mayo Clinic that resulted in strengthening Mayo’s data security protocols and better protecting patient data.
