"Cyber-attacks are hitting the headlines with increasing frequency, but it’s not only large organisations that are at risk. Small and medium-sized businesses are often prime targets, with the potential for serious disruption and financial loss. This session will cut through the jargon and show how simple, affordable steps can strengthen your cyber defences and protect your business."
“Over the past year, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary has been working with UKPAC to test the ways in which we can improve our joint service, resulting in 58 repeat offenders in Portsmouth being prosecuted, thanks to detailed evidence of more than 900 crimes. The courts have supported strong sentences in these instances, which has had a real impact on reducing the crimes that these offenders commit" This reduces the need to deploy officers to gather the evidence where a deployment is not required, and enables them to take swift action with these investigations.”
