One Attack, Three Points of View

Cyber crime is no longer something that only happens to large organisations. Businesses of every size are targeted through phishing, compromised accounts, fraud and ransomware.

Rather than treating it purely as an IT problem, we'll follow a cyber incident from start to finish, with the Police, IT and insurance perspective at every stage.

01

Before

The steps you can take now to reduce your chances of becoming a victim.

02

During

What actually happens during a cyber incident, how criminals operate and what you should do if you're attacked.

03

After

How businesses recover, the financial impact of an incident and where cyber insurance fits in.

Meet the Speakers

West Yorkshire Police

Cyber Protect Team

The threats local businesses are facing, how cyber criminals operate, what to do when an incident happens and when to involve the Police.

Tye Clark

Director, On IT

The technology and security measures that help prevent an attack, what happens technically during an incident and how systems and data are recovered.

Neil Grimshaw

Decello

Cyber insurance, business risk and the financial impact of an attack, and what happens from an insurance point of view when a business is hit.

Built for Business Owners

This isn't a technical session. It's for business owners and decision-makers who want to understand their cyber risk better and leave knowing the practical steps to take.

The format mixes short presentations from each speaker with time to network with other local businesses and speak to the presenters before and after.

What to Expect

  • Practical advice for business owners
  • Real-world insight into modern cyber threats
  • Guidance on preparing for and responding to an incident
  • An understanding of where cyber insurance fits
  • A joint Q&A with all three speakers
  • Networking with other local businesses

Event Questions

Do I need to be technical to attend?

No. The session is designed for business owners and decision-makers, not IT specialists. Everything is explained in plain English.

Who is this event for?

Owners, directors and managers of businesses of any size who want to understand their cyber risk and what to do about it. If someone else looks after finance, risk or insurance in your business, it's just as relevant to them.

What will I learn?

How to reduce your chances of being attacked, what happens during a cyber incident and what to do if it happens to you, and how businesses recover, including the financial impact and where cyber insurance fits.

Will there be an opportunity to ask questions?

Yes. There's a joint Q&A with all three speakers, and time to talk to them and other local businesses before and after the session.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. The event is free and there's free parking at The Zone. You just need to reserve a place on Eventbrite.
