FREE CYBERCRIME SEMINAR

Monday 23rd October at the Village Hotel, Bury

Cybercrime Fraud is a growing national threat to individuals, organisations and businesses (large and small).

The impact on business, is not just the financial loss, there is the time taken to rectify the problem, potential loss of future earnings and damage to your reputation, should you suffer an attack. Fear of Cybercrime also acts as a barrier to growth as some companies are not confident in embracing the digital economy.

Greater Manchester Police are offering a free event for businesses to attend to learn more about what measures you can take to protect your business.

This will include subject matter expert speakers and exhibitors who can advise you on how to start to protect your business or further develop your current security systems.

You wouldn’t go on holiday leaving your front door open. Don’t leave your staff and IT systems vulnerable to Cybercrime.
