This XFE Cyber Security Masterclass will show you how you can protect your new business from cyber criminals – and it’s designed specifically for those who know very little or even nothing about IT, computers, or cyber security.
This Masterclass will help your business to:
Focus on delivering your products and services, knowing that your critical business data is protected
Reduce the risk and impact of litigation
Protect your reputation
Demonstrate your trustworthiness and credibility with your customers
Alleviate stress and worry for you – the business owner!
You’ve probably heard it already. Cyber threats are on the rise. Attacks are getting more sophisticated and harder to detect. Every day, all across the country, organisations are losing money and having their reputation damaged. Operations grind to a halt. Sensitive information is lost. Important trade secrets are stolen.
You’re getting excited about growing your new business, and cyber security is probably not something you want to spend too long thinking about. You might not even think that it’s relevant to your business. However, if your business is going to process ANY electronic data, and if it will have ANY money at all, then unfortunately you will be a target for cyber criminals.
Perhaps you’re worried that your new business should be doing something about cyber-security, but you’re not sure where to start. In this Masterclass you’ll learn how a few small changes can make a big difference.
And if you’re NOT worried about cyber security, this Masterclass will explain why you probably should be!
Designed for the non-technical business owner, the Masterclass will cover the following topics:
What Cyber Essentials is – a UK Government cyber certification…why your business might need it and how you can get it
Why your business is a target
Who the cyber criminals are and what they want
How cyber criminals attack businesses like yours – their tactics
How you can protect your business against cyber criminals:
- For free
- For very little money
- For a bit more money
A cyber breach can be fatal for a new, growing business. Don’t let the cyber criminals prevent your business from being the great success you know it can be.
