SUMMARY:Cyber Securing Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Combat and repel malicious hacks that destroy or hold your data hostage for ransom with this day long seminar from Michael Cropper.\n“Learn for yourself how to properly provide cyber security for your organisation.” \nWe live in a digital world where hacked and locked company websites are held hostage for ransom payment on a daily basis\, along with unintentional “human error” resulting in devastating data loss. Cyber security and protecting your digital assets has never been more critical for business! \nThe sad truth is\, every business owner believes they will never be a target\, but that is what all victims of hacking for ransom\, malware\, and Trojan horses think. Obviously it is not true. \nThe good news is\, it securing your business can be accomplished in many easy and affordable ways that we may not be aware of. Michael Cropper shows in this course how easily it can be done no matter how big or small your business may be. Michael’s company deals with around 2-3 hacked websites per month just in our area alone! He will show you in simple steps how to make sure your business isn’t the next victim. \nProtect your website and company data/digital assets against cyber attacks by taking proactive measures to minimise your risk. Cyber attacks on your website have an enormous detrimental impact on your brand as customers see the impact which can result in lost sales and enquiries both now and in the future. Not to mention the legal exposure to law suits as a result of poor data security (c.f. Target Stores\, Home Depot\, etc) \nAnother alarming truth is that most believe that cyber security is being taken care of by their IT team\, web development team or digital agency\, but the likelihood is that it isn’t being taken care of at all. That responsibility is on the owner of the business or the person tasked with “looking after” the company website. \nBook on this course and learn what you need to know about protecting your website and web server against cyber security attacks. This workshop is specifically designed for business owners and those responsible for overseeing the business so that you can put safety measures in place to protect against data theft\, destruction\, and loss due to unscrupulous hackers. \nMichael will also give you the proper elements to be discussing with your IT and web development teams to ensure that your business can be both profitable and safe online. \nThe first half of the course will cover: What you need to know – threats \n\nTypes of Threats;\n\nSocial Engineering Attacks\nUnpatched Software Attacks\nPoor Development Techniques Exploited\nPhishing Attacks\nDistributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks\nBrute Force Attacks\n\n\n\nThe second half of the course will cover: Practical steps\, application combating threats \n\nCombating Threats;\n\nUsing Robust Systems & Processes\nDisaster Recovery and Planning for When Go Wrong\nHardware Level Security\nMultiple Levels of Software Security\nCyber Awareness Training & Development Throughout Your Organisation\n\n\n\nLearn how to “people-proof” your business from cyber thieves and well-intentioned employees by attending this NWL Chamber course: Cyber Securing Your Business \nAbout Michael Cropper\nMichael Cropper\, Managing Director at Contrado Digital and Founder of technology company Tendo Jobs\, has worked with many multi-national brands acquiring expertise in creating and implementing successful digital strategies\, all of which he condenses into this one valuable workshop. \nLunch and refreshments are included in the price of this one-day intensive course. \nBook here: http://www.lancschamber.co.uk/training/cyber-securing-business/

SUMMARY:Securing Your Website to Prevent Hacking and DDoS Attacks
DESCRIPTION:Be aware of the latest threats to your website and how to protect against them. Looking at how your technology choices can impact how vulnerable your website is\, how to prevent attacks with 3rd party software and reviewing your backup strategy for when things do go wrong. What would be the cost to your business if your website was offline for a day? A week? Several weeks or more? Do not make the mistake many businesses do and think that this will not happen to you\, websites are attacked and hacked near automatically these days by sophisticated botnets designed to take advantage of your weakness. \nWhether you are running an ecommerce store or a basic websites\, the costs involved from an attack are huge; \n\nHow many lost enquiries per day would you lose if your website was offline?\nWhat would the value of those enquiries be over the lifetime of those new customers?\nWhat would the lost revenue look like if you are an ecommerce shop?\nWhat would be the cost for you to fix these problems in number of person-hours taken\, and the lost revenue by not having these people work on revenue generating activities?\nWhat would be the reputational damage to your business if your website was hacked and customer details were stolen?\n\nYou have to ask yourself the question\, can you afford not to protect your website? \nSome facts about website attacks; \n\n45% of data thefts are for non-payment card data\n85% of the exploits detected were from 3rd party plugins\nWeak passwords contributed to 31% of breaches\n96% of investigated applications had one or more serious security vulnerabilities\n100% of mobile applications tested contained at least one vulnerability\n71% of victims did not detect the breach their self\nThe average number of days from initial intrusion to detection was a whopping 87 days\n81% of large businesses having experienced security breaches in 2014.\nThe cost of a typical breach is now at £1.15 million\, up from £600\,000 in the previous year.\n\nLarger organisations generally have more security built into their website whereas smaller and medium sized businesses always think they will never be a target. The fact is that many smaller and medium sized business websites are often the targets as they are far easier to break into as they haven’t invested in security.
