Digital Union is pleased to be partnering with ITPS on this exclusive event.

How would you cope if disaster struck your business?

Around 43% of cyber-attacks are aimed at small enterprises.

Power failure, fire, burglary, accident or even human error can strike at any time, and your business continuity plan should involve assessing the threat to people, systems and premises, and looking at all the challenges your business might face.

When it comes to cyber threats and ransomware attacks, it’s not a matter of if you’ll be attacked, but a matter of when. One third of all security incidents start with phishing emails or malicious attachments sent to staff.

So what can you do to help prevent attacks? One of the first steps is to carry out assessments and implement processes such as those set out in the Government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme. It is not a silver bullet that will remove all cyber threats but it is a good start.

Do not ignore the threat. Come along to our free event and find out more about the effect cyber attack could have on your business, how to respond and how to prepare. We're also providing a tour of the data centre and a networking lunch.
