UW’s Wyoming SBDC Network Podcast Interviews Paul Johnson About Cybersecurity

The Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network podcast features an interview with Paul Johnson, Wyoming SBDC Network Cybersecurity Program manager, about how to avoid online scams that can shut down businesses, lose customers and damage business reputations forever.

The podcast features small-business success stories, educational topics from experts and interviews with staff and leadership. Episodes are typically released twice per month.

The Wyoming SBDC Network offers business expertise to help Wyoming residents think about, launch, grow, reinvent or exit their business. The Wyoming SBDC Network is hosted by the University of Wyoming with state funds from the Wyoming Business Council and funded, in part, through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

In the episode launched May 20, Johnson talked with the Wyoming SBDC Network about a two-year award from the U.S. SBA to pilot cybersecurity programs and resources for entrepreneurs and small businesses across the state.

Johnson also discusses what the Wyoming SBDC Network Cybersecurity Program has accomplished in the last few months and what the program aims to provide in the future.

In addition to no-cost training opportunities and one-on-one confidential advising, the Wyoming SBDC Network Cybersecurity Program launched the Cyber Readiness Challenge. The challenge provides the opportunity for small-business owners to take advantage of no-cost cybersecurity training and enter to win a drawing to celebrate their efforts. The challenge will run through Wednesday, July 31. For the full rules and details, go to www.wyomingsbdc.org/Cybersecurity-Program/.
