Cyber Security: Strategic Overview – Identifying Risks

Cyber Security: Strategic Overview is a practical, half-day workshop designed for business owners, directors, and senior leaders who want clarity on cyber security risks and management – without jargon or technical complexity.

What we’ll cover:

• Why cyber security matters for SMEs
• The current threat landscape (ransomware, phishing, supply chain risks)
• Cyber security as a leadership and governance issue
• Managing cyber security with third parties and suppliers
• Building a positive cyber security culture
• Practical steps for owners and leaders (toolkits, incident response basics)

This session includes practical examples and tools you can apply straight away, plus the opportunity to ask questions and get expert insight tailored to SME challenges.

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a stronger understanding of cyber security risks and the confidence to take proactive steps to protect your organisation.
