Session 1: Hacking the Human: How Cybercriminals Trick Small Businesses presented by Travis Lothar Czech of Solis Indago

This practical 60-minute session will show small business owners, staff, and municipal partners how cybercriminals use social engineering tactics like phishing, fake invoices, impersonation, and urgent requests to target organizations.
