 Whether you're a small business or a big business, cybersecurity is business to bad actors. Hackers are targeting companies of numerous sizes and points along the supply chain, increasingly holding small companies and their networks for ransom. You can learn how to avoid this fate and get ahead of these bad actors by attending the 2018 Cybersecurity Conference hosted by the Illinois Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
This year's keynote speakers include the FBI on why all businesses regardless of size need a cybersecurity plan and constant vigilance. Our industry keynote, Adil Wali, is the Founder & CEO of Merit Labs and co-founder of ModCloth, an online women's clothing store. Adil's work on blockchain and cryptocurrencies, as well as developing a retail website, will provide insight into systems and technology that can help protect you and your business today.

In addition to those topics, this year's agenda builds on this strong lineup of public and private sector leaders. From our "Got Coverage?" panel discussing cybersecurity and insurance to the "Why, Who What, How Far" discussion on education and awareness, this conference has something for everyone.
We're also looking inside the "Mind of a Hacker" thanks to the work and insight of the U.S. Secret Service. Ever wondered what goes into the security of all your connected devices? "The "S" in the Internet of Things stands for Security" will look at how the public and private sector are engaging and approaching our continuously connecting world.
Please plan to join us on July 24 in Chicago for this very important educational event.
