Thank you to those who attended the event, we hope you enjoyed it.
Cyber security is fast becoming one of the most critical risks for every industry, particularly as cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly frequent and intelligent. Charity and non-profit organisations have also been identified as ‘easy targets’ due to their lower levels of budget provision towards IT security.
This event brought together key actions and changes that you and your organisation can make to increase the cyber security levels within your business.
The slides and recording will be sent out to those who attended.
