Course overview

Cyber Security and Information Security are invariably some of the biggest risks to your organisation. Yet organisations often struggle to understand how well that risk is mitigated and how to properly protect themselves. In addition to the risk of financial loss, reputational damage and GDPR fines, law firms are also increasingly engaging in group legal actions against organisations that have been breached. So how do you manage the risk?

This practical half-day training course is designed, with minimal technical terminology, to help business leaders, managers and representatives. It will focus on management controls for InfoSec and cyber security, to help your organisation assess and mitigate the security risks relating to personal data and company data.

Our expert presenter is a commercially experienced information security leader, who has led teams in multinational corporations and small businesses. He will explain the types of attack your organisation may face, how those attacks may be perpetrated and how you can defend against them. He will also touch on technical controls just enough to help you ask the pertinent questions from a business perspective.
