Live Webinar — September 10, 2024 · 2:00 PM CST


The rules have changed. Between evolving cybersecurity threats, “shadow AI” use in the workplace, and new Texas laws, businesses can’t afford to be reactive. On September 1, SB 2610 goes into effect, requiring small and mid-sized businesses across Texas to adopt and follow a recognized cybersecurity framework. This is a massive shift—companies that fail to comply face new liabilities.

In this kickoff session of our Cybersecurity Webinar Series, attorney Sasha Begovic will walk you through the essential steps to safeguard your data, comply with emerging AI regulations, and protect your company’s future.

What You’ll Learn

  • The reality of “Shadow AI” — how unsanctioned AI use is creating unseen risks inside your organization.
  • Texas’ new cybersecurity mandate (SB 2610) — what it requires for different business sizes (0–20, 20–100, 100–250 employees) and how to start complying now.
  • Building internal policies that work — actionable steps to align your team with cybersecurity and AI best practices.
  • Where to start — a realistic roadmap to improve your organization’s security posture immediately.
