Protecting Small Companies through Cyber Security

Join Cyber Risk Specialists Carson Padbury and Kacey Wheeler for an interactive and educational evening focused on protecting small businesses in tech when things don’t go as planned.

This session is designed for people working in electronics, IT, SaaS, and tech-enabled services who want a clearer understanding of how real-world tech errors and omissions can impact both their business and their clients.

We’ll kick things off with a short, accessible “crash course” before diving into real examples, audience discussion, and scenarios you’re likely to recognize from your own work. The goal is to have clarity, preparedness, and leaving with knowledge you didn’t have before. You’ll be invited to think through scenarios, ask questions, and engage throughout.
Whether you build, sell, support, or manage tech products or services, this event will give you practical context you can apply immediately.

What to Expect

• A PowerPoint-led presentation
• A mini crash course to level-set key concepts at the start
• Real-world claims examples, including: Liability, Negligence, Breach of contract
