Protect your livelihood in under an hour.

Your email and social media accounts are the heart of your business – and a prime target for cybercriminals. In this practical, hands-on session you’ll learn why cybercriminals want your accounts and see how one weak password or missing layer of protection can set off a chain of compromise that stops your business in its tracks.

Our cybercrime specialists will help you to secure your key accounts and strengthen your defences using trusted national tools. You’ll leave having implemented some advice during the workshop, along with a clear action plan, step-by-step guidance and the confidence to keep your business safe online.

• 07:30 – 08:30 (breakfast included)
• 09:00 – 10:00

Cyber incidents can halt trading, destroy reputation and cost a small business thousands. This practical workshop helps you understand where your business is most exposed and what to do about it. Through an engaging scenario exercise and guided use of trusted national tools in a workshop setting, you’ll explore how simple improvements strengthen your defences, protect your customers and as a bonus help make sure your emails land in customer inboxes rather than the spam folder.

Bring a device so you can follow along and have a go at using the trusted national cybersecurity tools, review your involvement in data breaches and start taking action during the workshop.
