🚨 LEE COUNTY: ARE YOU PREPARED? 🚨

Most business owners never think cyber crime will happen to them—until it does.

Today, criminals are using Artificial Intelligence to create sophisticated scams, deepfakes, fake emails, voice cloning, identity theft, and financial fraud schemes that are becoming harder to recognize and easier to believe.

The cost of one mistake can be devastating to a business, nonprofit, or family.

That's why the Above Board Chamber of Florida is bringing together experts in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and law enforcement to discuss what every business needs to know right now.

Join moderator Heidi Cramer along with Bruce Kelly of Vivitec, Dr. Huzefa Kagdi of FGCU, and John Schlager of Inceptus Cybersecurity for a practical discussion on how to identify today's threats and protect what matters most.

The Above Board Chamber of Florida wants to know:

Can you tell the difference between a real person and an AI-generated fake?

Most people can't.

Artificial Intelligence is making cyber crime more sophisticated than ever before. Deepfakes, voice cloning, fake emails, and realistic scams are becoming harder to recognize and easier to believe.

Unfortunately, cyber criminals aren't just targeting large corporations. They are targeting small businesses, nonprofits, families, and individuals right here in Southwest Florida.
