Join us for an engaging session that demystifies Cyber Essentials, the UK government-backed scheme that helps organisations guard against the most common cyber threats.
This session will break down the five key controls at the heart of Cyber Essentials and explain how businesses of all sizes can meet basic security standards and reduce their risk of attack.
Topic: Understanding Cyber Essentials: Protecting your business from common threats
Date: Monday 28th July 2025
Time: 10:00am – 11:00am
Delivery Method: Online
To bring the principles to life, we’ll also showcase a live hacking demonstration, revealing how easily attackers can exploit weak security—like poor passwords or unpatched systems—and how Cyber Essentials helps prevent these scenarios. Whether you’re new to cybersecurity or looking to strengthen your current practices, this session offers practical insights and real-world examples to help you better protect your business.
