Island businesses are being urged to find out how they can protect themselves before, during and after a cyber-attack. Swinton Insurance, ESID, Fusion Insurance, Rothmans and Glanvilles Damant Legal Services are hosting a business breakfast at the new CECAMM centre on October 26th. It’s an informative morning on how businesses need to protect themselves should they be hit by a cyber-attack. There will also be the opportunity to network with other local business leaders.
Are you prepared should the worst happen? Protection of business and personal data is a complex ever changing issue. Intellectual property, financial information and client data require the strongest levels of protection from theft or attack from both outside and inside the organisation.
Across Europe in 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will introduce fines for companies of up to €20m or 4% of annual worldwide turnover, whichever is greater for data breaches and these regulatory fines are only part of the downside for companies.
Whatever the reason a hacker chooses to attack, whether it be theft of funds, fraud, espionage or hacktivism, their evolving techniques are an ever-growing concern for businesses striving to protect their information and assets.
Learn about your weakest areas, the appropriate use of IT systems in the workplace, current cyber threats, how to strengthen your information security and manage privacy compliance.
