What Small Business Owners Need to Know About Generative AI and Cyber Risks
Technology has changed — but human nature hasn’t.
Centuries ago, Aesop taught us how curiosity, greed, and misplaced trust could lead to trouble. Today, those same instincts drive the risks behind generative AI — and small businesses are the new targets. Generative AI can help businesses grow faster and work smarter, but it also opens new doors to data theft, misinformation, and digital manipulation.
This free 1-hour cybersecurity webinar connects timeless lessons in human behavior to the realities of modern technology. You’ll learn how AI, data privacy, and everyday decision-making intersect — and what every small business owner needs to know to use AI wisely, protect customer trust, and keep their digital assets safe.
