We know what some of you may be thinking:
"My team already uses a VPN, we have an antivirus program in-office. Why do we need to know, or do, more?"
Well, here’s what you probably DON’T know:
vulnerabilities
Installing a VPN or an antivirus program is simply not enough on its own anymore. Attacks come from all directions, and there are FIVE critical vulnerabilities that every business needs to address to be sufficiently protected in 2024.
DATA BREACH
The threat of a data breach is very real, despite what many think. One suggestion is that there’s a cyber attack occuring every 39 seconds*—and small businesses are especially vulnerable, with an estimated 40% of attacks targeting SMEs.
HIGH RISK
The healthcare, financial and retail industries are at particularly high risk, and security requirements from industry associations and government regulators are becoming more stringent.
COST IMPLICATIONS
The cost of being compromised is high, both in terms of financial and reputational damage—and about 60% of small businesses that suffer a cyber attack close their doors within six months of the breach.
INVESTMENT
Even if you DO invest in cyber insurance, premiums can be pushed incredibly high (and in worse case scenarios, coverage limited) if you don’t have sufficient IT-based security measures in place. You can no longer “wing it” with just insurance. You need BOTH.
This information is no longer “good to know”, it’s “need to know”
The good news for you? This seminar isn’t a dry, dull, theoretical lecture, but rather, an educational, actionable deep-dive with real-life stories from the digital trenches of Australian small business.
Yes, you'll find out the real digital risk profile for Australian SMEs, and discover key strategies for effective cybersecurity protection for different industries—but you’ll also have the option to ask Qs and get on-the-spot answers, and get custom advice tailored to your organisation.
Join us and learn:
- What is happening, WHO is doing it, and what the risks are to Australian businesses (your businesses.)
- The FIVE layers of an effective cyber protection strategy. (Just understanding THIS will give you massive ROI from this seminar!!)
- Real-life stories of Australian small businesses impacted by cyber attacks. Knowing about Optus or Medibank being impacted is all well and good, but not necessarily applicable to you.
- How much cyber protection SMEs actually need. Spending needn’t be a bottomless pit.
- Why cyber insurance is increasingly important PLUS how to keep your insurance premiums low.
We’ll be covering both:
Cyber Insurance
IT based Cybersecurity measures
AND every attendee will get access to a FREE no-strings-attached cybersecurity audit and cyber insurance quote.
