Event exclusive to business owners and leaders of the Upper Cumberland

Every day, criminals and thieves prey on unprepared businesses.

Security is important in all aspects of life, but in business that security is paramount to success or failure. One breach and a company can lose everything and unwillingly share customer info. A nightmare that leads to ill will, a lack of consumer confidence and, maybe worst of all, lawsuits.

One company looks to fight back by helping local businesses learn how to protect themselves. On June 12, Alpha and Omega Consultants of Lebanon is hosting a business (cybersecurity) Lunch and Learn event that will “challenge what you think you know about protection” at the Holiday Inn Cookeville.

The event, exclusive to business owners and leaders of the Upper Cumberland, will take place from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sponsored by First Bank, lunch will be served, and one attendee will win a new laptop.

RSVP is required. You can do that HERE.
