AI Without the Hype: Practical Tools to Protect and Grow Your Business
You'll need to provide your Member ID: 1453090 You can simply copy and paste it into the registration form.
Many small business owners think they’re too small to attract cyber criminals. The reality is the opposite. Small and medium sized businesses are often targeted because owners are tight on time, budget, and dedicated IT support — which makes them easier for attackers to exploit.
The good news is that tools like AI are making it easier to manage both day-to-day work and basic cybersecurity.
In collaboration with Canon, CFIB is hosting a practical webinar to walk through how small businesses can use AI in simple, realistic ways. The focus is on what actually helps, not technical theory.
In this session, you will learn:
This session is designed for busy owners. No technical background required.
Bonus: Live attendees will have the chance to be entered to win a Canon SELPHY CP1500 Wireless Compact Photo Printer*.
CFIB encourage you to add your questions when you register. They will also accommodate as many live questions as we can during the webinar.
