Member Masterclass Presented by NextLight: The Hidden Risks in Your WiFi Setup

The Hidden Risks in Your WiFi Setup
— and How to Fix Them

Member Masterclass Presented by NextLight

Sponsored by FNBO

This Month’s Topic:

Is your business network really working for you — or putting you at risk?

What would happen if your internet went down for just one hour?

Downtime costs small businesses an average of $427 per minute.

Are your customers’ credit card details truly protected?

Every business that accepts cards must be PCI compliant — and 87% of small businesses have customer data that could be compromised.

Are you capturing customer emails through your WiFi — or missing that marketing opportunity entirely?

Join us for a focused, one-hour Masterclass built specifically for Longmont’s small business community. We’ll cover the risks, missed opportunities, and simple fixes that can make your network safer, smarter, and more cost-effective.

In This Class, You’ll Learn:

• What’s required to protect customer data and maintain PCI compliance

• How to turn guest WiFi into a free marketing tool

• How to keep your business running during an internet outage

• Why the right setup saves time, money, and eliminates the need for full-time IT
