Small-business owners will have an opportunity to learn about cybersecurity threats identified by the FBI Thursday, Feb. 20.

Special Agent Amanda Fritz, from the Cheyenne field office of the FBI, will lead a Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network webinar titled “Cybersecurity Threats From the FBI” from noon-12:30 p.m. To register, go here. Registration is free. The webinar is co-sponsored by the Wyoming SBDC Network Cybersecurity Program.

The Wyoming SBDC Network offers business expertise to help Wyoming residents think about, launch, grow, reinvent or exit their business.
