How Cyber Criminals Really Target your Business

A cyber threat briefing for local business leaders

Cyber criminals don't target Guernsey businesses by accident - they target them because they know exactly what's there, and exactly how SME defences tend to fall short. This free morning briefing, hosted by Parity Technologies with Huntress and the Guernsey Cyber Security Centre (GCSC), pulls back the curtain on how these attacks really happen - from the criminal's own perspective - and what business leaders and boards need to do about it.

This isn't a technical deep-dive. It's built for owners, directors and board members who need to understand the risk well enough to make the right calls - on budget, on governance, and on what “good” actually looks like for a firm your size.

● The real threat landscape — what's actually happening to Guernsey right now, not generic headline stats

● A live walkthrough of an attack from the criminal's side — how access is gained, how it escalates, and where the real damage happens

● A live incident response demonstration — watch how a real response to a security attack unfolds, step by step

● A hands-on ransomware negotiation exercise — a short interactive session putting you in the room for one of the toughest calls a board can face

● Practical guidance on protecting Microsoft 365 — the platform most SME operations run on, and one of the most common points of compromise

● How attackers are using AI — what's changed, and what it means for your defences

● The local perspective — from GCSC, on why this matters specifically for Guernsey-based businesses

● A live, open Q&A — put your questions directly to Parity, Huntress and GCSC
