Cyber Hackers are using the Coronavirus to prey on remote workforces and IT systems, as they attempt to steal money or data. The resulting impact on businesses and reputations can be significant. This webinar addresses how you can demonstrate to your customers, stakeholders and other third parties that you have implemented security controls, secured sensitive data and are protected from cyber-attacks.

It is ideally suited to decision-makers within a business responsible for Cyber Security and IT strategy planning who crave the need to understand more about Cyber Security in the current “New Remote World” and how this is shaping the SMB sector.
