In today’s digital age, protecting sensitive information and financial transactions
is more important than ever. However, small businesses are increasingly becoming targets
for fraud and cyberattacks. Small-business owners will have an opportunity to learn
how to protect their businesses Thursday, Oct. 26.
Jim Drever will lead a Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network business
fitness webinar titled “Fraud and Cyber Protection for Under $500” from 2-3 p.m. To

about, launch, grow, reinvent or exit their business. The Wyoming SBDC Network is
