Event Overview

This Utah Lunch and Learn brings small and mid-sized women entrepreneurs together for a practical session focused on cybersecurity standards that impact Utah businesses.

Hosted by the Utah Forum and led by an experienced cybersecurity professional, this session is designed to help business owners understand key state requirements and strengthen their organizational cyber readiness.

This is not an academic lecture. It is an interactive working session where participants can ask real questions, benchmark against peers, and walk away with clear next steps to improve their cybersecurity posture.

Attendees will gain foundational insight into Utah cybersecurity expectations, common compliance gaps, and practical strategies to protect operations, customer data, contracts, and reputation.

What Problem This Event Solves

Many small and mid-sized businesses in Utah face growing cybersecurity expectations but lack clarity on what standards apply to them and how to implement safeguards without overwhelming their operations.

This session addresses:

• Confusion around Utah-specific cybersecurity standards
• Limited understanding of how compliance impacts contracts and procurement eligibility
• Gaps in knowledge related to data protection, risk management, and incident response
• Fear or avoidance of cybersecurity requirements due to perceived complexity
• Limited access to trusted expertise tailored to women-owned businesses

Participants will leave with clearer direction, increased confidence, and actionable next steps toward stronger cybersecurity resilience.
