BHETA is holding a training webinar on the prevention of cyber-crime with speaker Arun Barnard, Cyber Protect Officer at the West Midlands Regional Cyber Crime Unit (ROCU). The event will be on Wednesday 23 November at 10:30am.
Cyber-attacks have the potential to cause major damage to the bottom line, reputation and consumer trust, the webinar will be an educational introduction to safeguarding measures. It will offer training on the fundamentals of cyber security, ways to stay safe, how to identify phishing, scams, social engineering etc., and where to report anything suspicious. A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
Commenting on the event, BHETA’s marketing manager, Steve Richardson said, “According the Government’s policy paper on cyber-crime 39% of businesses had experienced cyber-attack in the preceding twelve months, some up to once a week. With an average cost to each of £4,200 for SMEs rising to £19,400 for larger companies, this is a serious threat, and I would urge members to attend this event in order to review their security.”
