How easy would it be for a cyber criminal to get into your organisation?

Our next RL Business Club will explore how cyber criminals operate, the threats organisations are facing and the practical steps we can all take to better protect ourselves.

We’ll be joined by experts from Aspire Technology Solutions, Barclays and the North East Regional Organised Crime Unit (NEROCU), covering everything from the real impact of AI on cyber security and emerging cyber criminal tactics to fraud prevention and online security.

Cyber security isn’t just the responsibility of your IT team – we all have a part to play.

Join us on Wednesday 4 November, 4pm–6pm at the Aspire Technology Solutions office in Gateshead.
