Properly securing the data of your organisation and your clients is no longer an “option” it is now “law” and companies that fail to recognise this may incur fines of up to 4% of their revenue according to an article in The Guardian.

This cybersecurity Masterclass is designed to train you in ways to protecting your business from malicious attacks like those that nearly crippled the NHS system. This morning masterclass is packed with information to protect you against Ransomware and Malware attacks against your business.

This half-day course is designed for business owners, directors and senior management teams to learn about the current cybersecurity threats and the risks these threats present to your business. It is also for those who wish to take proactive measures by securing their digital assets and minimise the risk associated with cyberattacks.

Cyber attacks are happening 24/7/365 and you may not even realise you are being attacked until it is too late. With the average cybersecurity breach costing tens of thousands of pounds for smaller SMEs to deal with and hundreds of thousands of pounds for larger SMEs to recover from, can you afford to take the risk not to protect yourself?
