The Chamber offers a Small Business Series every month (which is sponsored by Nova Copy) and this month  our presenter is Mouse Calls… do you have IT issues? Do you know why? Is your network secure? A lot of our businesses don’t have a dedicated staff person for IT, Mouse Calls can help! They offer full IT services for LARGE (Nashville Sounds) and SMALL businesses around the world. Alan is a Robertson County native- he knows this community and would love to service this area. Our Small Business Series is a great time to ask him specific questions about your network and here very specific steps you should take to make sure your personal and customer information is secure. We all think we are and then you turn the news on and you hear FedEx was a victim of cybercrime! Don’t be this person, don’t lose all of your person and professional information because you didn’t think you should dedicate resources to this type of security!
