Last Night was Entrepreneur’s Cyber Guide Night at Venture Café Phoenix! We started the night with The Online Sellers Meetup with Jason Hsieh focusing on Amazon PPC Mastery: Jason Hsieh led a tactical deep-dive into maximizing ROI on Amazon ads, packed with real-world examples and a live campaign teardown. Then we Jumped into Entrepreneur’s Cyber Guide: Paige Hanson, Dara Gibson, Deb Bond, and Patrick Hanrion gave founders and small business owners a crash course in building secure, resilient companies to withstand today's cyber threat landscape. Key takeaways from the main session included: ✅ When you need a SOC 2 certification (and when you don’t) 🔨 Free/low-cost tools to boost cyber resilience 🚨 How to build an incident response plan that actually works 💲 Whether cyber insurance is worth it at your stage 💻 Ways to protect sensitive data—without slowing down growth The message was clear: Cybersecurity isn’t optional. It’s foundational to long-term success. We can't forget about the 1:1 Mentor Hours; attendees also got hands-on support from experts: 📈 Bethany Graver shared how events can drive brand awareness and business growth. 📃 Tara Bethell helped business owners tighten up employee cyber/AI policies—and gave out a free template to get started. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKSeTtPyw-f
