Manufacturing Solutions, a department of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission Existing Resource Division, will host a cybersecurity and fraud seminar Wednesday, Sept. 12, in Rogers, at the Rogers-Lowell Chamber of Commerce.
Cybersecurity experts will discuss issues ranging from internet safety to financial risk mitigation to workplace social media and more during the seminar. These professionals will provide solutions to address internet-related problems facing small businesses, and attendees will develop plans to increase their businesses’ cybersecurity to prevent hacks and other potential breaches.

The seminar will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 12. The cost of the seminar is $25.
