Overcome Your Website Securities Worries
Newport Interactive Marketers will be hosting a free networking event with a guest speaker on June 23 from 6-9 p.m.
Make no mistake, if you own a website, however small or low-trafficked it is, you are a crucial piece to the overall Internet ecosystem. How would it make you feel if your friend’s bank account was wiped out after they visited your site? Or if a self-replicating virus destroyed your visitor’s hard-drive after submitting a form on your marketing site? You are critical to this environment and that’s how dangerous things could get if you’re not educated.
Join Newport Interactive Marketers for this free non-salesy information event Thursday, June 23, networking starts at 6 p.m. and our expert speaker at 7 p.m., hosted by Parlor Kitchen and Bar, 200 Broadway, Newport, RI.
