Cybersecurity & Fraud Awareness

Protecting our clients and partners from cyber threats and fraudulent activities through education, awareness, and robust security measures.

Our Commitment to Security

Our Town Capital prioritizes the security of our clients' information and assets. However, fraud is an issue that companies may face regardless of size, industry, or location. Cyber criminals may seek to misuse Our Town Capital's name, brand, and reputation to launch illegitimate campaigns or engage in fraudulent schemes.

We maintain robust cybersecurity measures, but bad actors may pose as legitimate organizations and send emails or make phone calls to extract personal data for financial crimes. These scams can be complex as perpetrators may use real employee names, replicate proprietary documentation, and illegally use Our Town Capital's intellectual property to appear legitimate.
