Biztech/UCMK Ask the Expert Event Cyber Security – Is your IT at risk and what can you do about it

Cybersecurity is one of the biggest issues for businesses today with an array of threats that could derail them.

The latest in the series of Biztech/UCMK Ask The Expert events aims to give companies the information they need to prevent them from becoming victims.

Fredi Nonyelu, chairman of Biztech, said: “Being online is absolutely vital to most companies, both for communication and, increasingly, for e-commerce.

“Despite being aware that there are cybersecurity risks to their businesses, we know that companies remain vulnerable to all kinds of attacks. The cybersecurity industry around the world is worth billions of pounds.”

The Biztech/UCMK Ask the Expert event on 14th May aims to arm businesses with the information they need to defend their vital data and ability to trade with a high powered panel of three.
