About this Event

In this session, we’ll explore how the cyber threat landscape is evolving and what that means for leaders making strategic and financial decisions.

You’ll hear real stories of businesses that paid the price for complacency and the hard-earned lessons every decision-maker should take from them.

We’ll cover simple, practical steps to strengthen your defences, reduce the risk of costly downtime or data loss, and navigate compliance and regulation without getting tangled in bureaucracy.

Discover how to demonstrate the value of cybersecurity to your board, customers, and insurers, turning protection into a real business advantage.

Plus, see how SMEs can now access intelligent, enterprise-grade security once reserved for big budgets, and leave with clear, actionable insights to make confident, informed decisions that protect growth, reputation, and resilience.
