VIRTUAL EVENT

 

The RCCU, West Midlands Cyber Resilience Centre and Superfast IT are collaborating in a joint hosted webinar, designed for small and medium sized business.

Attendees to the virtual event will learn what minimal cyber security a small business needs in 2021. Cybercriminals are getting ever more sophisticated. Cyber security doesn’t have to be expensive, but basic controls are needed in every business today to prevent becoming a cybercrime victim. The good news is small businesses can prevent most cybercrime by implementing basic cyber security measures.

The online event is aimed at small business owners and senior leaders responsible for their business’ security – but are not cyber security experts.

  • The minimal security needed for a small business in 2021
  • How to protect your businesses with cyber security measures that are proportionate for an SME – in terms of cost and feasibility
  • The history of cybercrime
