Terminal B and Optimal Information Security Services team up for Free Small Business Technology Seminars
Austin, TX- Terminal B and Optimal Information Security Services (OISS) announced today that they will be teaming up to host a series of free non-technical executive seminars in October entitled Effective Computer Networks for Small Business.
Terminal B Managing Director, Greg Bibeau, and OISS CEO, Rich Owen, will lead the presentations, which will cover important considerations for securing networks and leveraging information technology. Executives and business owners will receive best practice take-aways that can be applied to their computer networks immediately and they will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss real technology challenges they face in their businesses.
"At the end of the day the same methodologies used by Fortune 500 companies to leverage investments in technology can and should be applied to small businesses" said Bibeau. "Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for small businesses to underestimate the importance of proper technology controls and planning until a breach or a disaster."
Attendance is limited for these free 90-minute seminars, and those who wish to attend should email their intentions to rsvp@terminalb.com. The event will be held in the Auditorium of 108 Wild Basin Rd. on the following dates and times:
- Tuesday, October 11 1:00pm
- Wednesday, October 19 6:00pm
- Tuesday, October 25 7:00am
