Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of how to build organizational resilience and better prepare for today's constantly changing digital threats.\n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker:\n\nGregg Gokey is the President of Wildcard Corp\, where he has dedicated the past 12 years to driving operational excellence\, technology innovations\, and strategic growth.

Man in the middle.\n\n--Why is two factor authentication something I should bother with?\n\n--What is the real cost of a cyber-attack?\n\n--Where can I go to get help that won't break the bank?\n\n\n\nWhat is Business X-Change?\n\nAllows business owners and their employees the opportunity to discuss pertinent topics\, learn from local industry leaders and\, most importantly\, learn from each other.
