Cyber Crime and Security

The Jurys Inn, Newcastle
Wednesday, 31 January 2018
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (UK time)
    • Alistair Murray, Director, The Bureau

Alastair’s talk on cybercrime and security will alert you to the very real dangers whilst offering timely advice on how to keep up with developments and stay safe online.

Alastair demonstrates a now not uncommon “hack” of an office network and how simple it is to fall victim to these scams. Staff are increasing vulnerable to Phishing fraud where a familiar email address of a supplier or work colleague is cloned to encourage them to do what they would not normally do…click on that emailed link or attached Word file!...

Alastair goes onto to explain the simple steps to take to beef-up your defences against cybercrime - the Cyber Essentials!
