Join us as we delve into the world of Cyber Security, learn how it impacts not just the business but the individual and what steps can be taken to avoid getting caught out.

Recent research carried out by event sponsors m3 Networks found that 59% of Chamber Members overall risk score was high or medium/high, 105 businesses had already been compromised this year and 96 businesses have 11 - 50 breached credentials.(The full results and an explanation of the research can be found here)

So, what are you doing to protect you and your business?

The team at Forbes of Kingennie will be serving a full cooked breakfast to set you up for the day, along with the great networking opportunities and a chance to catch up with the Chamber team this event is one not to be missed!
