Region 9 Helps Asian Small Business Owners Become “Cyber Smart”

CISA Region 9 team members shared tips and information on how to be cyber smart with members of the Asian Food Trade Association, many of whom are small business owners, in Monterey Park, California. The presentation was well-received as members of the Asian community have reported a recent increase in both physical and cyber crimes, including voter intimidation, ransomware attacks, and burglaries in the workplace. The tools and resources shared by our Region 9’s Cybersecurity and Protective Security Advisors were particularly helpful to the association in helping members become more resilient to these crimes.
