Innovation Talks | The Future of Cyber Crime and Resilience
What Your Business Needs to Know for 2018
The last year has seen major cyber attacks that have paralysed private and public organisations including the NHS, Tesco, Lloyds, Talk Talk and Three. In 2016, 2.9 million British companies were hit by cyber crime at a total cost of £29.1 billion. While cyber crime has historically often been seen as a peripheral issue by management, it is now increasingly recognised as one of the greatest threats to businesses, posing fundamental information, reputational, security and financial risks.
Join us for this breakfast briefing and our last Innovation Talks for 2017 to hear from our experts on:
