“Cyber-attacks occur every 39 seconds and as a small business you need to protect yourself, your staff, and your clients,” says Scott Scheidt. “Business owners work endlessly to build the trust of their clients and employees and if there is a security breach of private information, there is nothing more grounding than having to send out a mass email to all of your clients and employees that there was a breach of security on your client’s private information.” 

This presentation will cover:

• how to discern if your information is on the dark web
• understanding the cost of a cyber breach
• discover different ways your business or organization may be at risk
• learn the measures to take to better protect your organizations for clients, as well as in-house

Karen Dove Barr’s book, Burnt Pot Island, a Marsh Hammock in its Natural State, answers the question of what life was like on Skidaway Island one hundred years ago when the island was a hotbed of moonshiners and rum-runners. Her clue is a mysterious abandoned house on Burnt Pot Island. Told from the viewpoint of an African-American mother and daughter who struggle to achieve freedom and preserve family, the novel ends with a hard-earned expression of hope for their future. Although the characters are fictional, the events and details are based on extensive historical research.

Bradley will discuss her debut novel, Breach of Trust, where she used her insider knowledge as long-time head of the Chatham County Victim-Witness Assistance Program to create a compelling read about the debilitating effect one person’s deceit has on the criminal justice system.
