Event Description

Cyber Security for Business — Free Bitesize Session

Thursday 18 June, 09:00am - 12:00pm, Louis Pearlman Centre, Hull

Delivered by The Rybec Group, an IASME Certification Body, in partnership with Hull City Council's Managed Workspace Centres

Most UK businesses don't get hacked because they're targets. They get hacked because they're easy.

You've spent years building something worth protecting, a customer base, a reputation, a team you rely on. It takes one click to put all of it at risk. A free three-hour session won't make you a security expert. It will make you a much harder target.

Join us at one of our Managed Workspace Centres for clear, jargon-free answers to the questions most business owners aren't asking yet.

Why are phishing emails getting harder to spot, and how much money is leaving UK bank accounts to invoice fraud every week? What does a ransomware attack actually look like for a small business, and how long until you're trading again?

Why have suppliers become the most common route attackers use to get in and what does that mean for the contracts you sign? When the UK's Cyber Security and Resilience Bill lands, what will it ask of you personally as a director?

You'll leave with a clear view of where your business is exposed, a short list of fixes you can act on this week, and an honest steer on whether Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, IASME Cyber Assurance or ISO 27001 is the right next step for your size and sector. These are the certifications customers, insurers and procurement teams now expect to see.

The session is delivered by The Rybec Group, an IASME Certification Body for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus. We certify UK businesses every week. You'll get the same straight advice we give paying clients, in a room with other local owners facing exactly the same pressures.

Stay afterwards for refreshments and a chance to talk it through with the people sat next to you.
