This workshop will enable SMEs to gain greater understating about cyber security issues and how to access related support and expertise

SMEs are continuing to face growing cyber threats, from phishing and ransomware, to insider risks, and often don’t know where to start when it comes to cyber security.

Rochdale Development Agency are hosting a second 'exclusive event' with the Cyber Security Communities of Support (CyCOS) which will feature a panel of cyber security experts from the University of Nottingham and Queen Mary University - London.

The panel will help you gain a greater understanding of the cyber security issues that are relevant to SMEs and also how to get related support through a new Community Beacons project. There will also be interactive exercises, including an incident response drill to a cyber attack, open discussions and a Q&A to help you get the most from the session.

This is a unique opportunity for Rochdale businesses to access expertise, advice and guidance from leaders in the cyber security field.

Directions and parking
