SUMMARY:TAO 2022 Small Business Cybersecurity Series: Preparing for a Cyber Incident
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Small Business Development Center\, Mount Hood Community College\, and  the Technology Association of Oregon (TAO)  for our 2022 Cyber Series on the 4th Tuesday of the month from February through September to learn the fundamentals of cybercrime and cybersecurity to better protect your business. \nGet those calendars out and browse the lineup of the remaining session dates in this series below! As we near specific event dates\, topics and featured guests will be confirmed and communicated.  \nThe National Institute of Standards and Technology defines a cyber incident as “actions taken through the use of an information system or network that result in an actual or potentially adverse effect on an information system\, network\, and/or the information residing therein” which is a much more thorough definition than saying\, “you’ve been hacked.” Regardless of the terminology\, being prepared for when an incident does occur takes time and forethought. In an era where cyber incidents are on the rise\, ensuring you have a cyber incident response plan means you know how to respond to a serious security incident\, such as a data breach\, data leak\, ransomware attack\, or loss of sensitive information. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:TAO Leadership Exchange: A Conversation with Women Leaders in Tech
DESCRIPTION:Women have always played an important role in the technology industry\, unearthing new discoveries and developing unique approaches to solving the world’s challenges through innovation. However\, there is still a long way to go before the playing field is truly level\, and women are hired and promoted based on their skills and the exceptional contributions they make to the industry. \nVital to technological advancement\, women bring unique perspectives\, backgrounds\, and knowledge to the table. However\, women are currently outnumbered by men 3:1 in the tech industry and 5:1 in engineering. \nTechnology Association of Oregon (TAO) and partner UK Trade and Investment invite you to a conversation with regional female leaders hosted by Tammy Sandhu\, British Deputy Consul General\, about what is needed to support female\, non-binary and other historically excluded individuals in technology roles (particularly in leadership). \nThis all-female panel brings their passion for lifting up women to more senior roles\, workplace equality for intersectional diversity (including sexuality and race in addition to gender)\, and supportive workplace culture. They will discuss how to have the confidence to confront inequality in pay\, and how to be an advocate for building a diverse and inclusive workforce in the tech sector. \nRegister here.
