Talk Title: Small Business Cybersecurity in 2026: New Threats, AI, and How to Respond
April 21, 2026 | Wayland Tech Center
When things work day to day, it’s easy to stop thinking about IT, cybersecurity, and risk.
That means most businesses have no idea what their IT provider should be doing to keep them safe. Unfortunately, you only discover your gaps when things go wrong—really wrong—and threats are evolving fast.
Earlier this year, a foreign government used AI to autonomously breach multiple organizations worldwide with almost no human involvement, simply by orchestrating agents. Businesses need to understand how these threats work and what should be done to mitigate them.
Zatis IT is bringing a practical, no hype, educational cybersecurity session to the local Chambers. In 30 minutes, you'll learn a business-first way to reduce cyber risk and adopt AI safely, without getting buried in tools or jargon.
The content is specifically for business owners, not tech teams.
