Cyber crime is at an all-time high, with the UK ranking as one of the most frequently attacked countries in the world. With SMEs making up a large percentage of the national business population and cyber-attacks happening on a daily basis, cyber prevention is an ever-present concern for IT professionals and business leaders alike. Despite this fact, only 23% of UK businesses have a formal cyber security strategy in place.*
Join the North West Cyber Resilience Centre's Niomie Haynes and Paul Benson to hear about regional threats and trends that impact businesses and what support is available to businesses, under their Merseyside Cyber support scheme funded by Merseyside Police and the Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell.
Mike Prior from Cyber Security Specialists will also deliver a presentation on the Cyber Essentials certification scheme, a Government backed framework which introduces cyber security controls proven to be effective against the most common internet based cyber threats.
