Written by Erica Mixon | Oct 19, 2021 3:18:38 PM

For organizations with few — or zero — security measures, building a security strategy may appear daunting. Where do you even begin?

Whether you’re an IT admin with directives from leadership to prevent ransomware or you’re a small business owner that wants to get started with security, we’ve got your back.

Join Blumira’s Matthew Warner, CTO and Co-Founder, and Curricula’s Nick Santora, (CISA, CISSP), CEO and Co-Founder, to give you practical, actionable (and nonjudgmental!) advice on how to improve your organization’s security maturity, starting at step one.

They'll discuss:

  • Basic tools you should invest in to level up beyond the basics and advance to the next stage of your security maturity model
  • Security frameworks to help you get started 
  • How to maximize a limited security budget
Who should attend? 
  • IT pros tasked with getting their business to a security baseline
  • Small business owners/leadership with no formal security program
  • Anyone who wants to learn more about security basics
