We'll be joined by Debra Cairns, Managing Director of Net-Defence, who will cover the following 3 key areas in cyber security:

1. An introduction to cyber security and cyber risk

Looking to avoid fear in the industry and offer best practices, Debra will tackle a frequently asked question by both businesses and individuals: ‘What is cyber?’, and dive into the different types of attacks and levels of risk.

2. Immediate recommended actions

Following an introduction to cyber security, Debra will offer recommended actions in five key areas:

  • Backup & recovery
  • Cyber attacks
  • Smartphone and tablet protection
  • Passwords
  • Phishing attacks

These actions apply to individuals as well as organisations big and small to reduce risk and ensure infrastructure security.

3. Passwords

To round up the session, Debra will focus on passwords, an element of cyber security that impacts everyone, and highlight best practices as well as what to avoid when selecting passwords for business and personal use.
