Wake Up Naples: Protecting Your Business in a Digital Age - July 2026
* Registration open until 7/14/26 at 12:00 PM (EDT)
Event Details
Cyber threats are accelerating — and Southwest Florida businesses are targets. This session is built around the question every business owner in the room is quietly asking: What actually happens to me if this goes wrong?
Join us for an expert panel structured around the full lifecycle of a modern cyber threat:
- Prevent it — AI-driven cybersecurity and how to close vulnerabilities before they're exploited
- Defend the money — how financial fraud is identified and stopped in motion
- Recover from it — the real dollar cost of a breach and how businesses financially and legally survive
