Improving your Cyber Security - for small and medium sized organisations - Online **REGISTRATION CLOSED**
Good cyber security is all about managing risks. The process for improving and governing cyber security will be similar to the process you use for other organisational risks. As small and medium-sized organisations there are simple, cost-free actions you can take to protect your organisation from cyber risks.
This FREE online training session delivered by Tom Shields from Vertical Structure, will give you the information you need which will help you prioritise and manage your risks.
The vast majority of cyber attacks originate when someone clicks on an unsafe link or attachment. With cyber threats constantly changing, automated email security programmes only go so far to eliminate bad links. That’s why, for an organisation to be wholly secure, all levels, including board members, need to have an awareness of cyber security.
The aim of this session is to give board members an overview of their responsibilities in cyber security and actions that they can take to improve the cyber security of their organisation.

Feedback from last session
Excellent training in cyber security which was free and will bring immense benefit to our organisation's activities
Cyber Security is such a complex topic, but Simon broke it down and made it easy to understand for those who didn't have any prior knowledge about it whatsoever.
Ignorance is not an option as the risk is greater than we know ! Very informative session.
An enlightening experience to raise greater awareness of the dangers of cyber crime coupled with good practical advice as to how to defend against it.
