Jess's Thoughts: Hi! I'm Jessica (Jess) Park, Business Development Manager for Cybersecurity at Loudoun Economic Development. Every month, we gather for Loudoun CyberTech, a cohort of the region's top cybersecurity professionals, where we learn from one another, network, and discuss cybersecurity topics and trends. 

Next month, we'll get together and network. With no speaker scheduled, our focus will be to connect. I'll share what I learned at Black Hat in Vegas and look forward to hearing what you've gathered from recent events, while discussing relevant challenges and solutions, upcoming events, and hot topics and trends.

Have questions about the cybersecurity industry in Loudoun County? Feel free to reach out!

Small Businesses Need Cybersecurity, Too!

Cybersecurity matters for small businesses because they hold valuable data. Every transaction completed stores customer contact information, payment details or sensitive business data. This is prime information for hackers interested in identity theft and financial loss.

Attacks happen more often than we realize. Read more on LoudounPossible.com.
