Evan Polini is a Law Enforcement Officer with Community Safety and Correctional Services and works in community safety and prevention. His work gives him a front-line view of the types of scams affecting our communities and businesses, and today he’ll be sharing practical insights to help us recognize and avoid them.


Corey Bilton is a cybersecurity specialist, entrepreneur, and podcast host dedicated to protecting small and medium-sized businesses from the threats that keep owners up at night.

As Founder and CEO of C3Techs Inc., Corey built the company on a simple but powerful belief: most businesses were being underserved by traditional IT providers. Where the typical IT shop treats cybersecurity as an afterthought bolted onto a help desk service, Corey flipped the model entirely , leading with deep cybersecurity expertise first, and layering in IT support from there. The result is a fundamentally different kind of protection: proactive, strategic, and built for businesses that can't afford to become a headline. Corey is also the creator and host of The Cyber Playbook for Business Podcast, where he brings that same no-fluff approach to founders and business leaders covering cybersecurity, technology, and the strategies that actually move the needle.
