Join us for an engaging session that demystifies Cyber Essentials, the UK government-backed scheme that helps organisations guard against the most common cyber threats.

This session will break down the five key controls at the heart of Cyber Essentials and explain how businesses of all sizes can meet basic security standards and reduce their risk of attack.

To bring the principles to life, we’ll also showcase a live hacking demonstration, revealing how easily attackers can exploit weak security—like poor passwords or unpatched systems—and how Cyber Essentials helps prevent these scenarios.
