We’ve all heard a great deal about cyber security threats, ransomware, malware, viruses, data theft and many more digital issues. Studies show 43% of small businesses will be targeted every year and that up to 60% are not likely to survive the attack. The SBDC is working closely with SBA, DHS, and DoD to develop small business specific tools, programming and services to help small businesses address this growing threat to our security.

We are asking for your input as we develop specific programs and services to meet the cyber-security needs of the small business community and, in particular, your business.

Your assistance is critical to shaping the resources your government, the private sector and your SBDC can bring to best protect your business cyber harm, to help in cyber recovery when necessary, and, to ensure a digitally safer state.

We are not collecting any identifiable data and assure you that all responses are held in the strictest of confidence and individual response data will not be shared in any way.
