Virtual Lunch & Learn: AI & Cybersecurity for Small Business Success

Thursday, November 19, 2026 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (EST)

Description


This workshop will explore how artificial intelligence acts as a double-edged sword— empowering attackers with automated hacking and cloning tools while simultaneously providing powerful new defensive capabilities. Attendees will move past complex jargon to learn actionable, budget-friendly strategies because effective cybersecurity relies on consistency and awareness rather than massive IT budgets. Our workshop will equip you with foundational tools to safeguard your livelihood, supply chain, and customers against today’s top threats.

Presenter Chris Landis serves as Senior Solutions Partner for Security Product Sales at Verizon, bringing 20 years of hands-on expertise across retail leadership, commercial sales, and enterprise security. A CompTIA Security+ certified specialist, Chris helps leaders of small and mid-sized organizations safeguard mobile workforces, fixed wireless networks, and cloud environments against modern threats like data leakage and ransomware. By leveraging data from Verizon's annual Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), he translates technical risk into actionable steps that protect business revenue and operational stability.
