Small Business Advisory Council (SBAC)

The Small Business Advisory Council (SBAC) is an exclusive consortium of cybersecurity experts and leaders dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the realm of cyber readiness. Our mission is to bring together a diverse group of professionals to understand these challenges deeply and to develop practical, impactful solutions. 

Our Mission and Goals

At the heart of the SBAC, our mission is to leverage the collective expertise of our members to:

  • Collaborate on working group opportunities focusing on AI guidance, SMB cybersecurity guidance, and enhanced risk analysis.
  • Gather both quantitative and qualitative insights directly from SMBs, identifying their primary challenges across people, processes, and technology.
