23 February - Top tips to strengthen your cyber security
Event summary
Did you know that?
- Cybercrime has increased by 300% since the coronavirus pandemic began.

Recent high-profile examples of cyber security incidents have shown that the damage can be significant, not only in terms of operational disruption and actual cost, but also reputational harm for the businesses involved. Unfortunately, a lack of knowledge and awareness have left a lot of firms susceptible to cyber-security breaches.
