British Retail Consortium invites you to their event

How COVID-19 Is Changing Cyber-Security

About this event

Cyber security is not a luxury but a necessity. The latest expectation for organisations is not if you will suffer an attack, but when. Retailers are increasingly coming to understand that they are an attractive sector to cyber criminals. No organisation is too big, too small, or too well protected to be a target and an appropriate understanding of risks and exposures is essential to build an effective cyber security strategy.

During the session we will explore the importance of assessing and quantifying your cyber risk exposure. Building on the recently released BRC Cyber Toolkit, we will give you the insight and tools you need to maximise your cybersecurity and reduce the potential for attacks, which can damage both your reputation and your bottom line, and expose you to potentially significant regulatory sanctions.

During this webinar, the BRC, National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and our partners Aon will outline key sector threats, reveal how the changing working and retailing practices (accelerated by the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic) have created increased challenges for cyber security, and provide practical advice on how best to respond to them.
