Hybrid
Hybrid Event: Cyber Security for Individuals, Small Businesses & Non-Profits
Klik Solutions, 1000 Key Highway East, Baltimore, MD, US
Our very first hybrid event! Thanks to the folks at Klik Solutions, we will have our very first hybrid event -- this means you can attend either in person or on Zoom.

Join Roman Shraga, CTO of Klik Solutions, for a practical conversation about cybersecurity for real-world users, WordPress site owners, and small organizations.

Whether you’re a freelancer managing dozens of client websites, a nonprofit running on a shoestring, a content creator, or just getting started with WordPress — the truth is the same: Your site is part of the internet’s attack surface.

In this session, Roman will walk us through what modern cybersecurity actually looks like for WordPress-powered businesses, organizations, and professionals.

You’ll learn:
- Why are small sites valuable to attackers (even if you don’t store sensitive data).
- What common tools and habits quietly create hidden risks — even for
  experienced devs.
- A tiered roadmap for improving your security, no matter your budget.
- How to think about digital risk beyond just plugins and passwords.
Schedule:
- 11am: arrive for those coming in person, we will have open networking & general WP Q&A from 11am - 11:30am.
- 11:30am: presentation on cyber security.
- 12pm: Q&A on cyber security, bring your questions!
Location:
1100 E. Key Highway Baltimore, MD 21230
