In a slight change to our usual HR Leaders Forums, this month we’ll be providing a wider ‘Lunch & Learn’ session for ANYONE in your business who is concerned with their preparedness when encountering a cyber-security issue. So, as well as HR Leaders, we would like you to invite along any colleagues your business who might benefit from this FREE online session.

Cyber-crime is a major concern for UK businesses, with many experiencing attacks and facing significant financial and operational consequences.

One only needs to recall the issues being faced by M&S and the Co-op recently, and the huge ongoing costs to their business. Several other retailers have been hit in the recent past and reports suggest that 43% of businesses and 30% of charities have reported experiencing a cyber security breach or attack in the past year.

While awareness is increasing, particularly among larger businesses, many still need to improve their preparedness and response strategies. And many smaller organisations still struggle with awareness and being ready to respond appropriately, should an attack occur.

Here at the Liberty Recruitment Group, we work very closely with our good friends and trusted IT support partners, Southern Solutions.

For our ‘Lunch & Learn’ session this month, we are lucky enough to get the IT Specialist’s View on cyber security – from Ben Whatley.

Ben will be discussing what the risks are from an IT perspective, and will explore ways in which you can protect your business.

He will also provide us with an inside look at cyber-crime, including real case examples. And, importantly, Ben will also provide practical tips for protecting your business.
