Cyber security is now at the forefront of business-thinking, and scammers and online criminals are now more active than ever before. This puts significant pressure on small-to-medium enterprises to ensure their cyber practices are up to date, sufficiently robust, and protecting client and customer data.
Themes that were raised from attendees included:
- Best practice passwords, pass phrases, and basic cyber secure housekeeping
- Support from Government with its Cyber-warden program and resilience testing
- IT providers and governments partnering up to communicate cyber secure practices and resources more effectively to businesses
- Indemnity insurance as a cyber/IT issue
