Starting in September and wrapping up in March, they have, at times, included CPR certification based on needs.Our most recent PAI event was held on Monday, September 8, at ShuBrew in Zelionople, PA. We had the pleasure of listening to a presentation on \u201cCybersecurity Essentials for Dental Practices\u201d by Gary Salmon, CEO of Black Talon Security (BTS).Black Talon Security is a dedicated cybersecurity company that goes beyond traditional IT measures to protect your organization against cyberthreats. They have highly credentialed security engineers who lend expertise to properly assess and address the ongoing risk levels within your business, lessening the potential of a ransomware attack or data breach.Gary\u2019s presentation was insightful and added so much value to today&#8217;s topics. I think we all knew that cybersecurity was essential, but I didn\u2019t fully understand its magnitude until the end of this presentation. It&#8217;s no longer optional in business. Considering some of the recent events and threats, we are grateful to have them in our corner.Gary, thank you for taking the time to meet and present at our event. We are very grateful. We all had a lot of fun! Thank you, Black Talon, for being on our team!
