CyberProof Your Business: Survive & Thrive in the Age of Digital Threats

Cyberattacks cost UK businesses £64 billion annually, yet many SMEs remain underprepared to defend themselves. According to new research from cybersecurity provider ESET, 53% of businesses have suffered at least one breach in the past three years.

From ransomware and phishing to supply chain attacks and Cybercrime-as-a-Service (CaaS), the threat landscape is evolving rapidly and every business is a potential target.

From recent high-profile breaches affecting Co-op, M&S, Land Rover Jaguar, Adidas, Cartier, to medium-sized family-run logistic businesses in Yorkshire, even schools and councils highlight the urgency for action.

Join us and the the North West Cyber Resilience Centre (NWCRC) team for an interactive workshop designed specifically for SMEs, where you’ll gain practical tools and expert insights to protect your business.

Expert Presentation: Hear from Niomie Haynes of the North West Cyber Resilience Centre (NWCRC), a police-led organisation dedicated to helping businesses across the North West strengthen their cyber resilience. With a background in fraud prevention and cybersecurity, Niomie brings practical insights into protecting businesses against evolving digital threats.
