An interactive, practical evening with the South West’s leading cybersecurity experts, built for SMB owners and managers.
About this Event

Every day, SMBs across the South West face cyber threats that could destroy years of hard work in minutes. From ransomware attacks that lock up your systems to data breaches that damage customer trust, the risks have never been higher.


But here's the problem: Most cybersecurity advice is either too technical, too expensive or designed for large enterprises.

That's why we're bringing together the region's leading cybersecurity experts for an evening specifically designed for SMB owners, managers, and decision-makers.


🎯THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You run or manage an SMB (10-250 employees) in the South West
  • You're concerned about cyber threats but don't know where to start
  • You've heard about ransomware, phishing, and data breaches, but need practical guidance
  • You want to protect your business without breaking the bank
  • You're tired of technical jargon and want straight-talking advice

📚 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Essential security foundations
  • Real-world protection strategies
  • Compliance made simple
  • Budget-friendly implementation

WHAT MAKES THIS EVENT DIFFERENT?

  • South West SMB focused advice, designed for businesses like yours
  • Actionable takeaways you can implement immediately
  • Local expertise with real case studies
  • Peer networking, connect with fellow business leaders facing similar challenges

PANELISTS

We're bringing together the region's most experienced cybersecurity professionals.

Panel members will be confirmed shortly.



🎫 LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE

We're deliberately keeping this event intimate (maximum 25 attendees) to ensure quality discussion and meaningful networking opportunities.
