University of Hawaiʻi offers third free cybersecurity clinic for small businesses

“Cybersecurity Risk Management and Vulnerability Assessments for Small Businesses” is a free Zoom meeting presented by University of Hawaiʻi Maui College for sole proprietors and registered businesses in Hawai‘i.

The third and final clinic in this cybersecurity series is slated for noon to 1 p.m. March 18.

“Most small businesses don’t realize they’re a target until it’s too late,” said University of Hawaiʻi Kapi‘olani Community College assistant professor of information technology and cybersecurity and session lead David Stevens in announcing the clinic. “You don’t need a big budget to protect yourself, but you do need to know where your risks are.”

The clinic will cover:

• The “Asset First” Mindset.
• Identifying Digital Risks in 2026.
• Practical Vulnerability Assessments.
• Affordable Defense.

“This session will walk you through practical, affordable steps for identifying your most critical digital assets and assessing your vulnerabilities before an attacker does,” Stevens said.

Those interested in attending can register online for the Zoom clinic.

The cybersecurity clinic series is funded by $1 million in grant funding and wraparound support from Google’s Cybersecurity Clinics Fund to establish the University of Hawaiʻi Cybersecurity Clinics.

This is one of 15 new clinics launching at higher education institutions nationwide made possible through a collaboration between Google and Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics.
