Keeping the Human Cyber Safe Workshop

Organiser

This workshop is aimed at anyone who touches a computer! The workshop is free of Jargon, no prior technical knowledge is required.

About this event

Cyber security is very much in the news and is very much a part of doing business everyday. However with the global threat increasing, all organisations must take steps to reduce their risks. But where to start and who to ask in a world full of three letter acronyms and jargon.

Date: Tuesday 10th May 2022

Time: 9:30am - 12:00pm

Venue: Business Innovation Centre, Binley Business Park, Harry Weston Road, Binley, Coventry, CV3 2TX

Register on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/keeping-the-human-cyber-face-workshop-tickets-297954117787

Examples include:

Inadvertent disclosure of information that could be used in a social engineering attack;
Not recognizing unusual activity or not reporting it;
Accessing sensitive information unrelated to the user’s role; and
Clicking on malicious email links or opening unknown attachments.

People are one of the key assets of any organisation. Our experience has proven an informed workforce is fundamental to implementing effective systems and processes and can be your biggest ally against risk. Arming your employees with the skills to deter those who would compromise you is the first of many steps you can take to protect your organisation.

Risk Evolves prides itself in delivering the theory supported by practical, interactive sessions and illustrate using real examples. This is not “death by PowerPoint”.

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

  • Translate some of the jargon eg. Spam, phishing, ransomware,
  • Understand the consequences of your IT related actions.
  • Apply IT Security principles to both domestic and commercial use;
  • Understand the potential consequences of sharing information on social media platforms;
  • Offers best practice advice and guidance throughout the training

Agenda:

  • What are the Cyber Risks today? Where are the threats?
  • Who are these cyber criminals? And why are they attacking us?
  • What do we mean when we talk about a cyber-attack or a cyber enabled attack?
  • What are phishing emails, Malware, Hacking and Ransomware?
  • What is social engineering?
  • How do I protect myself, my business and my family?

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas.

I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
