Cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, with hackers, organised crime and criminals continually attempting to access personal information, bank accounts, intellectual property and critical data. This affects organisations of all sizes, across all sectors.
The Chambers of Commerce across the Highlands are collaborating on this vital initiative to ensure our members have all the tools at their disposal should they have any cyber related problems.
This is your chance to:
- Gain essential knowledge and awareness of the latest cyber risks and threats
- Receive authoritative, practical and up to date guidance straight from the experts dedicated to keeping our communities safe.
- Access guidance, tools and resources to build your cyber resilience—your preparedness to meet a cyber risk.
- Learn how to withstand, defend against, manage and quickly recover from cyber incidents.
Your participation will help strengthen the collective resilience of businesses throughout the Highlands and beyond.
