Cyber Risks: Need To Know Business Insights

Cyber is one of the most complex and critical risks facing people and businesses today. An attack can be hugely disruptive and costly. We are therefore delighted to bring together a panel to discuss these issues in terms of real world experience of an attack and lessons learned.

Data breaches and Cyber Attacks in 2022 totaled 1,063 and resulted in 408 million breached records. These numbers are likely to be incomplete as a result of non-disclosure by some organisations. Cyber Attacks were the most common form of security incident in 2022, totaling 611 attacks, followed by Ransomware Attacks at 255 with Data Breaches comprising the balance*.

Please join us in person for some real life insights on managing cyber risks with business leaders and specialists, Will Crumbie – Fatface, Piers Schreiber – BT, Jenny Brand – Teneo, Adrian Scoot – Pen Underwriting, Ian Birdsey – Clyde&Co and Tristan Morgan – BT.
