Cybersecurity 101 – Session 4: From Exposed to Protected
What Proactive Cybersecurity Actually Looks Like
Florida ranks in the top three states nationally for cybercrime losses (FBI, 2024). The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center logged more than one million complaints and $20.877 billion in reported losses in 2025, and business email compromise accounted for $3.046 billion of that on its own.
13 Layers built this course to close that gap. The goal is not to frighten business owners. It is to give them a clear, honest picture of the risks they carry, the obligations they have, and the questions they should be asking of their internal IT teams and third-party vendors. You will be able to make informed decisions about protecting what you have built.
Who Should Attend
Business owners, CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CTOs, CIOs, and senior executives across South Florida’s primary industries: healthcare, financial services, government and public sector, manufacturing, professional services (legal, accounting, consulting), technology, and retail.
Attendees do not need an IT background. They need to care about operational risk, legal exposure, and the people who depend on their organizations.
What Attendees Leave With
- Understand the fundamental difference between reactive and proactive cybersecurity, and why it matters financially.
- Know the right questions to ask your current security vendor or internal IT team.
- Understand what a layered, intelligence-driven security program delivers in practical business terms.
- Leave with a clear, concrete path to evaluating and improving your security posture, starting with a 15-minute conversation.
