Webinar: The Crucial Role of Cybersecurity

This event has now ended

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, cyber threats pose a significant risk to businesses of all sizes. SMEs can be particularly vulnerable due to financial and technical limitations.

In our September webinar, we provided valuable insights to enhance your understanding of potential weaknesses in your organisation’s cyber defences and equipped participants with practical strategies to mitigate cyber risks effectively.

The webinar was led by cybersecurity expert and ethical hacker, Rob Shapland, who has 10 years of experience in conducting penetration tests into hundreds of organisation’s security systems, ranging from large corporations to small businesses.

Key takeaways included:

• The ability to identify cyber threats faced by SMEs and the consequences of cybersecurity breaches.
• Practical and cost-effective cybersecurity solutions tailored to the needs of SMEs.
• How to build a cybersecurity culture at all levels of the organisation.
