About this event
Cyber attacks pose a serious and very real threat to all businesses. Are you aware of how a cyber security breach could affect your business? Do you know what the impact and cost might be, and have you taken the necessary steps to protect yourself?
In collaboration with DCMS and Ipsos MORI, the University of Nottingham is hosting this free webinar to look at some the challenges facing small businesses as a result of cyber attacks. We’ll explore the nature of some of the cyber incidents SMEs are facing and help you to understand what the cost of a breach could be, particularly with the increased exposure to cyber risk arising from the pandemic and moving online. We’ll also look at what good practice guidance is already available to support you, so you can reduce the risk of your business falling victim to an attack.
After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to put your questions directly to our expert panel. There will also be an opportunity to register for a follow-on workshop that will go into even more depth, should you wish to learn more.
