About this Event

Cyber threats no longer target only large enterprises. Small and growing businesses are now one of the most common targets because attackers know many organisations lack dedicated security teams.

In this practical session, Warren Smith, Founder of CyberVision-UK, will explain the most common ways modern businesses are compromised and the simple controls that prevent the majority of attacks.

This session is designed for founders, directors, and operational leaders who want to understand cyber risk in clear, practical terms without technical jargon.

During the workshop we will cover:

• How small businesses are typically breached

• The most common security mistakes organisations make

• The five security controls that stop most attacks

• How attackers discover and target businesses online

• A live cyber risk scoring exercise so you can assess your organisation’s security posture

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of the practical steps they can take immediately to improve their organisation’s cyber resilience.

No technical background is required.
