AI risks, cyber threats and practical steps businesses should take to stay operational.
What would actually happen if your systems went down tomorrow? For most businesses, the honest answer is: a lot of disruption, and more cost, than they’d like to admit.
UK businesses faced an estimated 8.58 million cyber crimes last year (*UK Government data)… threats are rising, AI is changing the risk picture, and “we’ll be fine” is not a plan.
In two practical hours, with the help of our security partners we are going to show you how to protect your business, stay compliant, and keep operating when things go wrong – no technical background required.
What we’ll cover:
- Get the basics right — Cyber Essentials: The UK government-backed standard and its five core controls (firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and patch management) — and why certification is now a baseline for trust and for winning contracts.
- Training your team to protect your business: Continuous device monitoring, vulnerability and configuration scanning, policy management, security-awareness training and cyber insurance — guarding against around 99.8% of common threats.
- Detect and respond — MDR & EDR: 24/7 Managed Detection & Response and Endpoint Detection & Response that spot and stop threats on your devices and network before they become incidents
- How AI is reshaping both the threats and the defences: What proactive protection measures you can take to keep your business safe and dark web monitoring that alerts you the moment your data is exposed.
Business owners and leaders across any industry: CEO / Owner / MD, Operations Directors, Senior Leaders, Procurement and IT Management, in SMEs across the UK. For the people responsible for keeping the business running who want a practical view of cyber threats, business continuity and AI-related risk - pitched at a leadership level, not deeply technical.
