South Wales Police are hosting an interactive cyber security event, funded by the Welsh Government, designed to help organisations understand, identify and reduce IT-related cyber risks.
We would like to invite you, as one of our suppliers, to attend.
Why attend?
Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting trust, targeting organisations through methods such as:
Compromised accounts within legitimate organisations
Deceptive communications sent from trusted sources
Requests that prompt action without proper verification (e.g. payments, data sharing)
Free monthly newsletter including emerging cyber threats and fully funded services to support businesses. (opt out available)
These incidents are becoming more sophisticated and affect organisations of all sizes.
Key takeaways
This is more than a presentation — the session is designed to be practical and directly useful to your organisation.
Insight into current and emerging cyber threats
Real-world examples of how organisations are being targeted
Clear, practical steps to reduce your exposure to risk
Guidance aligned to recognised good practice
Interactive breakout session
A key part of the event will be a breakout session, where you will:
Review common cyber risk scenarios
Have the opportunity to assess your organisation’s own exposure to risk
Identify simple improvements you can implement straight away
Ask questions and discuss challenges in a supportive environment
