SLEP and security firms offering cyber threat webinar

The Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership is teaming up with two local security companies to help businesses maintain a safe environment for online shopping.

Representatives from Leereye and Layer0 Security Inc. will take part in a webinar on Monday to offer tips on how companies can identify and prevent cyber threats.

SLEP Economic Development Officer Michael Buranyi said we've seen a spike in businesses offering e-commerce to remain competitive during the pandemic.

"When people are confident enough to submit their personal information in order to buy products and services online, the single biggest thing that companies need to be cognizant of would be the protection of that information," said Buranyi. "Without the necessary protection in place, the easiest of hackers could go in and get that information."

You can register for the webinar by going to www.sarnialambton.on.ca.

It's scheduled for September 21 from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m.

If you have specific questions you'd like asked, email them to Michael (Michael@sarnialambton.on.ca) by September 18.
