SUMMARY:Cyber Thursday: Federal Cybersecurity Reporting Requirements for Small Business
DESCRIPTION:Small businesses carry more federal reporting obligations than most realize\, and they are scattered across different rules with different clocks. This session walks through the ones that actually apply to you.

You will leave knowing what triggers a report\, who receives it\, how fast the clock runs\, and what to have ready before an incident happens. \nSpeaker: Matt Frost\, Government Contract Specialist\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute – WI APEX Accelerator \n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nFor the full schedule of the Cyber Thursday webinars\, please click here.
