How Protected Is Your Business? A Cybersecurity Business After Hours Event

Thursday, October 22, 2026 | 4–6 p.m.
Sweet Haven Tonics | 116 N Minnesota St, New Ulm, MN 56073
Hosted by Nuvera in partnership with the New Ulm Chamber of Commerce as a Hot Topics – After Hours event.
Think your business is protected because you have antivirus? Or that cybercriminals are more interested in larger companies? Let’s talk about it.
During National Cybersecurity Month this October, Nuvera is bringing local business owners, managers, and leaders together for a casual conversation about a serious topic: how protected is your business, really?
Cybercriminals aren’t only targeting large corporations. Businesses of all sizes can have valuable customer information, financial data, employee credentials and access to systems that criminals want. And while antivirus is an important part of cybersecurity, it is only one layer of protection.

What You Will Learn
At 5 p.m., Tanner Pederson, Nuvera’s Sales Engineer Manager, will give a brief presentation covering:
- Why businesses of all sizes can be targets for cyberattacks
- Where antivirus helps, and where it falls short
- How AI is changing the way cybercriminals operate
- What layered cybersecurity protection can look like for your business
- Questions you should be asking about your current cybersecurity strategy
Join us from 4–6 p.m. to enjoy a beverage from Sweet Haven Tonics, grab a bite to eat and learn more about the real-world cyber threats facing businesses of all sizes. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with other businesses in the New Ulm community and connect with local Nuvera Territory Manager Jon Bleick, who will be on site throughout the event to answer questions and continue the conversation.
Bring your cybersecurity questions. You don’t have to be an IT expert to participate.
