About this event

Businesses of all sizes are at constant and ongoing risk of cyber security incidents, with current evidence suggesting that small businesses are becoming less prepared in terms of following basic cyber hygiene practices. 

Join us at this free event to understand more about how cyber attacks are affecting the SME community and examine some of the key advice that is available to support you in understanding your cyber security needs. Professor Steven Furnell will explore the findings from the latest UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey and highlight key resources that are available to support SMEs.

He will also introduce a new research project that seeks to further explore SMEs’ current understanding and confidence around cyber security, and the experiences encountered when seeking related support.
