Monday 18 May 11am: Cyber Safety for staff working remotely and employers
Top tips for staying safe online while working from home and for employers about managing risk and security while staff are working remotely, from cyber security experts Risk Evolves, who provide risk management and cyber security consultancy for businesses of all sizes.
The volume of cyber threat has escalated to take advantage of the worries on COVID-19 through increased attempts to get us to click (667% increase in phishing emails) and also to take advantage of the fact that more people are working at home and using video conferencing.
This webinar will therefore consider the main risks in cyber attacks and what each of these mean; for example what is the risk of clicking on a link in a phishing email and what happens. Working from home presents further risks than working from an office environment so we will look at what we need to do to protect ourselves and how a business should look to protect its data and minimise the cyber impacts. This includes practical measures on how to use video conferencing, file transfer platforms and cloud services.
