Business Brunch – Strengthening the Human Firewall – Cyber Security

Join us for our next Business Brunch in Ipswich!
Topic:  Stay Ahead of Cyber Risks: Strengthening the Human Firewall

In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats are evolving rapidly, targeting businesses of all sizes. Cybercriminals now use AI-powered attacks to bypass traditional cybersecurity measures, focusing on the last line of defence—your people.

Join us for a session with cybersecurity experts Spear Shield and Egress, where we’ll discuss the vital role employees play in protecting your organisation. You’ll learn how to empower your team to act as a strong human firewall and defend against cyber risks. Experience a live, interactive spear phishing simulation to see how cybercriminals operate and discover strategies to prevent these attacks.

Key takeaways:
Understanding human-activated cyber risk: Gain insight into how everyday actions can open the door to cyber threats and the potential impact on your business.
Interactive Spear Phishing Trip: Play the role of cybercriminal in an interactive phishing exercise to see how easily these attacks can occur – and how to recognise them.
Strengthening the Human Firewall: Learn practical strategies to educate and empower your team to identify and respond to phishing attempts effectively.
Actionable Tips for Business Owners: Walk away with guidance and steps to create a positive culture of security awareness within your organisation, ensuring your human firewall remains strong.
