Cyber Security Conference for Non IT Managers

The cyber security threat landscape is changing rapidly. A lot of what is happening is talked about in terms of the detail of “technical” threats such as Ransomware, but for those businesses without a technical manager, it can be difficult to know how to address security from a strategic perspective, rather than just always throwing more money and technology at the problem.

Businesses are often spending money on security audits, only be left with a big list of recommendations and no idea where to start, where to stop, how much do I really need to spend for my business, who can I trust?

In this session, expert speakers from DNA IT and Sophos, will give you a clear understanding of the evolving threat landscape, how to think about the risks you face, and how to build a cyber security strategy that is appropriate for your business.

Key Topics for Discussion:

• Why has Cyber Crime increased so much?
• How much do you need to invest?
• What sort of testing should you be doing?
• How fast can you respond to a cyber incident?- understanding managed detection and response.
• What role do security quality standards play?
• Policies, procedure and documentation – how much do you really need?
• Understanding whether your current environment is fit for purpose.
• Changing the culture – user behaviour, senior managers, board of directors – attitudes and understanding towards long term investment in security.

Who Should Attend?

This information session is designed to give all non-technical managers a greater understanding of cyber security and how to build a business strategy to cope with it.

Typically, we find that Finance Directors, Managing Directors, Business Owners, Board Members and Operations Managers often carry the responsibility for IT, and so security is now a major concern in terms of business risk.
