e-Crime currently costs Welsh businesses around 373 million every year, through direct financial or intellectual property theft, disruption of communications or damage to business-critical data www.ecrimewales.com

Due to the nature of e-Crime, and its ability to evolve with technology, new threats are emerging with an alarming degree of regularity and simply maintaining a better appreciation of the risks we face could have a significant effect on your ability to respond to them if the need arises.

Although businesses may recognise the need to secure their computer systems and online access activities, many may be intimidated by what they might see as the potential costs, the specialist expertise needed, or the time it may take to set up such security precautions.

This workshop aims to help businesses better understand the need and benefits in securing their networks and computer systems - as well as helping you make sense of cyber security priorities.

Through case study examples, Karen Burch will help raise general awareness of security issues and highlight the benefits of developing good practice in the implementation of IT security policies.
