For small businesses who are often confronted with limited resources, knowing how to get started and where to find support with planning, implementing, or evaluating a cybersecurity risk management strategy can be challenging — sometimes making cybersecurity feel like an insurmountable hurdle. However, there is good news. Many non-profit organizations across the United States have created programs for their local small business communities (in addition to local schools, municipal governments, and non-profits) that often extend beyond general cybersecurity education to include services like conducting risk assessments and penetration tests, performing compliance consulting services, helping with incident preparedness and response measures, and more. The NIST Small Business Cybersecurity Support Program Finder brings these programs together into one tool, connecting small businesses with local non-profit community partners who help with cybersecurity risk management. Explore the ToolSelecting a state on the interactive map will present a list of programs, as shown in the graphic below. A table of programs alphabetized by state is also provided below the map for users to browse.

October 5, 2026Frasers Group CEO Michael Murray at Hotel de Crillon, where the group held a cocktail party during PFW. Photo: Thomas ChénéTonight, at a luxury hotel in the 8th arrondissement, Frasers Group CEO Michael Murray is hosting a cocktail party during Paris Fashion Week. The event will celebrate Frasers Group Luxury, a new division of the business comprising Flannels, The Webster, and recently acquired British department store Harvey Nichols. The portfolio also includes Boss, which Frasers is hoping to acquire: the group just upped its stake to 47.89% in August, and Murray was recently made chairman of the board. It’s the first time Frasers has held a luxury event during Paris Fashion Week, but as the group continues with brand acquisitions, Murray is keen to underline its elevated positioning. The 500-strong guestlist, he says, will include leading luxury CEOs who partner with Frasers across its retail portfolio, franchisees and partners from across Europe, and industry insiders in town for Paris Fashion Week.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ethan Alexander. It has been edited for length and clarity. Each year, I get a $500 gift from an investment account that my great-grandfather set up for all of his great-grandkids. My gramps — Jack Davis — owned his own company and left a legacy of entrepreneurship in our family. I get the money on his birthday, May 9th. In 2025, my sophomore year of high school, I came across a video on Instagram about making a profit by reselling items online shortly after I received Gramp's gift. I had stopped playing lacrosse, my typical spring sport, and I was looking for something to fill my time. I used the $500 to pay someone to teach me how to resell. I didn't do much research, just thought "what's the worst that can happen? " The business took off immediately, and I generated just under $10,000 in revenue that first month. In August, I did more than $25,000 in revenue. I resold lots of goods at a relatively small profitSuccess reselling on Amazon comes from volume. I would find a product where I could make a relatively small profit margin — about $2 to $4 — and sell lots of it.

How do you recommend a porn theater? Steve Koltai, owner of Montreal's historic Cinéma L'Amour, might start by telling you to watch it on your phone. "You want to watch the newest movie out there? Watch it on your cell phone. That's not my business anymore," he told IndieWire. "My business is giving you social interaction, fulfilling a fantasy. "That makes suggesting Koltai's establishment for a movie outing a bit more complicated than your typical midnight flick. Pitch a little trip to Cinéma L'Amour, and there's instantly a question of intent. Are you appreciating its crimson interior and risky atmosphere from afar — or suggesting an immersive experience that warrants more discussion with a… partner? (Priest?) Hell, even an overeager endorsement of its gift shop can invite some very private questions around the city. "I'd say a majority of the people that buy our merchandise have never been here," a Cinéma L'Amour tour guide told IndieWire this past summer, amid the 30th annual Fantasia International Film Festival. "But they love the fashion part. " Dakota Johnson has been photographed rocking the porn theater's merchandise.
