Digital Data Security Webinar for SMEs

Digital Data Security Webinar for SMEs:

Are you a small or medium-sized manufacturing business feeling overwhelmed by digital data security? You’re not alone.

This free webinar, run by Made Smarter Yorkshire & Humber, will equip you with the knowledge and practical steps to protect your business from cyber threats.

Led by experts from Rybec, who all come with a wealth of knowledge from a police background in cybercrime, you will gain real-world insights into the dangers surrounding cyber security, and how to prevent them from having a dangerous impact on your business.

2.5M (just under half) of UK businesses were affected by cyber-crime in 2023, the majority of these fit into the small-medium category. As a comparison less than 0.5M were victims of physical crime (i.e. burglary/theft/damage) yet statistically businesses are more likely to invest in measures to protect them from physical threats as opposed to cyber threats.

£130,000 is the estimated average cost of a data breach on a company in the UK, and 26% of micro and small businesses that are fined under GDPR are now in liquidation.

Following on from Cyber Security Awareness Month in October, this webinar will empower you to secure your business financially, reputationally, and globally.

You will be able build trust with your customers by showcasing your commitment to data protection and gain a competitive edge, as well as discover how certifications can open doors to government contracts and global trade, allowing you to scale.
