Event information

In recent weeks the UK has seen a series of high-profile cyber incidents at major retailers. The incidents have grabbed the headlines and pushed the topic of cyber security back towards the top of many agendas. But what does it really mean in practical terms? What should organisations do in light of these recent attacks? Are smaller businesses off the hook, or does this type of incident highlight the risks they face if even large retailers with supposedly robust defences can be affected so badly?

In this webinar, our experts will explore the themes from the incidents in more detail, reflecting on the latest developments and information available to bring attendees bang up to date. We’ll look at what it means for the accounting industry and why organisations of all sizes should be looking at their cyber and IT policies and processes. In the context of recent developments like ISQM1 and the Cyber Governance Code of Practice, we’ll also cover why it is more critical than ever for firms and businesses to ensure that they are on top of cyber security to be prepared for when, not if, an attack occurs.

Key benefits

  • Apply the learnings from these incidents to your own organisations and what it means for cyber security in the profession.
