Digital Loft: Cyber Security for the non-technical

Understanding the biggest threats facing small organisations, how to deal with them and what support and guidance is available.

Cyber attacks can significantly impact your business, with 32%* of businesses experiencing a breach or cyber attack in the last 12 months. The impact is not only felt financially but reputational damage can lose customer and stakeholder trust. Cyber security is often seen as needing lots of technical knowledge – but you can take some simple steps to protect your business.

Having good cyber security measures in place will help protect your cashflow, your customer data and your reputation. In today’s world, smartphones, computers and the internet are now such a fundamental part of modern life, it’s more important than ever to take steps that can prevent cyber criminals getting hold of your accounts, data, and devices.

During this webinar the NCSC and the PROTECT Network will talk through the biggest threats to small businesses; why cyber security is so important; and we will share some free resources available from the NCSC to help better protect you and your organisation from cyber attacks. We will also answer some of the key questions that businesses have such as:

• Am I really at risk?
• What can I do to improve my cyber security?
• What should I do if I suffer a cyber attack?
• Isn’t cyber security expensive and complicated?
