Small business owners need to be active participants in their own protection from cyber threats. The panel of experts participating in the Small Business Council’s Roundtable on “Cybersecurity” emphasized this message along with the need to have a cybersecurity plan in place—and continuously work on the plan. Resources are available online and in person with cyber professionals to enable businesses to take responsibility for protecting themselves, their employees and their clients. 

Ernst Denhartigh with The Alternative Board New Orleans North West moderated our expert panel, including:

•Rene Miller with Ener Systems

•Special Agent Josh Marrow with the FBI

•Reginald Darby with Ochsner

•David Shapiro with Northshore Robotics

We thank these participants and also thank Ener Systems and Citizens National Bank for sponsoring the roundtable.
