Cyber Security - Is Your Data Safe?

It only takes one click: human error is a leading cause of data breaches. Come and learn some practical steps to prevent this.
About this Event

It's easy to think that hackers are just after multi - million pound organisations but that's not the case. Charities often hold vital data that hackers can hold for ransom and or sell. It's very easy to think that it 'won't happen to us' but cases with charities are increasing and there are huge implications if it happens.

This workshop will take you through how cyber attacks happen in the real world, including often overlooked aspects such as how they discover information.

It will cover how the human element of security plays a very big part in modern attacks and how attackers could target your staff directly and will help you understand what to do and what to look out for.

It also gives a play-through of the stages of a cyber attack, drawing on real world news stories and case studies to illustrate how these happen.

The workshop will be entertaining, interactive, informative, and give you an understanding of what is happening on the other side of the screen.
