About the event
Are you confident your business is as protected online as it should be?
Cyber threats, phishing emails and data breaches are no longer problems faced only by large organisations. Every day, small businesses and start-ups are targeted through websites, email accounts, social media channels and everyday online activity.
Yet many business owners aren't cybersecurity experts – and shouldn't have to be.
Join this practical 1.5-hour webinar to learn how to protect your business, your data and your customers with simple, effective actions you can take straight away. This jargon-free session will help you:
Understand Common Cyber Risks and where your business may be vulnerable
Recognise Phishing Emails and Online Scams before they cause harm
Protect Your Website, Devices and Online Accounts with straightforward best practices
Handle Customer and Business Data Safely and confidently
Build Better Security Habits that reduce risk and improve resilience
Know What to Do if Something Goes Wrong and how to respond quickly
Designed specifically for small businesses and start-ups, this session focuses on practical, everyday cybersecurity rather than technical detail. You'll gain clear, actionable advice that can be implemented immediately, regardless of your level of experience.
By the end of the webinar, you'll have a stronger understanding of the risks facing your business, greater confidence in navigating the digital world, and a simple action plan to help keep your information secure.
Who It's For:
Small business owners, start-ups and anyone responsible for managing online business activity who wants to improve their cybersecurity awareness without getting lost in technical language.
What You'll Need:
Bring a pen and paper or digital notes app. You may also find it useful to review your current website, email setup and online accounts after the session to identify opportunities for improvement.
