ABOUT THE SEMINAR

What to expect

FREE ENTRY EVENT

Cyber crime is evolving at lightning speed – and no business is too big, too small or too well established to be targeted. It’s no longer just an IT issue; it’s a business-wide threat that can disrupt operations, drain finances, damage your reputation, compromise customer trust and put your ability to keep trading on the line.

Cyber fraud is like opening the door to your entire business. Once criminals gain access, the impact can extend far beyond systems and data, reaching into payments, supply chains, customer relationships, decision-making and the trust on which your organisation depends. For executives, understanding these risks is invaluable: when an attack happens, critical decisions must be made quickly, and a clear understanding of the situation can make all the difference in limiting damage and protecting the organisation.

Network ROI and the Cyber and Fraud Centre Scotland invite you to an afternoon of Cyber Executive Education at The Royal Scots Club, Edinburgh, designed for CEOs, directors, board members and senior decision-makers.

Through expert-led discussion, practical frameworks and real-world insight, the session will help leaders understand the full business risk of cyber fraud and cyber attacks, their role in managing that risk, and how to strengthen resilience across the organisation.

 
 

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Through expert-led discussion, practical frameworks and real-world insight from two of Scotland’s foremost cyber security minds – Neil Douglas, CIO at Network ROI and Jude McCorry, CEO at Cyber Fraud Centre Scotland – the session will help leaders understand the full business risk of cyber fraud and cyber attacks, their role in managing that risk, and how to strengthen resilience across the organisation.

What you will take away

· A clearer understanding of today’s cyber threat landscape and how cyber fraud can expose the whole business

· Insight into why cyber security and fraud prevention are board-level responsibilities

· Practical approaches to identifying and managing cyber risk across people, processes, technology, suppliers and finances

· A better understanding of how a cyber incident can disrupt operations, damage reputation and affect customer and stakeholder trust

· Insight into the role of leaders in building a security-conscious culture across the organisation

· Awareness of legal, regulatory, financial and incident-response considerations

· Guidance on preparing for, detecting, responding to and recovering from a cyber incident

Our Cocktail Bar will be open throughout the day and food will be available to be purchased before the start of the seminar.
