Building Your Small Business Cybersecurity Team: From In-House to Outsourcing

This NIST webinar, held in recognition of National Small Business Week, focuses on considerations for building a cybersecurity‑ready team within small business environments. The session examines how cybersecurity responsibilities can be structured based on factors such as organizational size, available resources, staffing capabilities, and risk profile, including approaches that rely on internal staff, external support, or a combination of both.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Key considerations when planning a cybersecurity team
• Alternatives to hiring dedicated cybersecurity staff, such as third‑party vendors or apprenticeship models
• Community resources available to support small businesses
• Factors to consider when hiring or outsourcing cybersecurity roles
• Resources and strategies for training staff and promoting organization‑wide cybersecurity awareness
• Use of the NIST NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity and related tools

Time will be allocated for audience questions and discussion.
