Cyber Security Basics - Preventing your business from being breached

Are your devices, your employees and your intellectual property open to attack? If you’re liberally connecting to hotspots offering free internet and not taking additional steps to secure yourself, then the odds are you are vulnerable to hackers and it’s your own fault.

Our general behaviour with mobile devices is to connect first and worry about it later but it is exactly this careless behaviour that is making life easy for hackers and lining their pockets. The Cyber Security Basics keynote will open your eyes to how much information we are really giving away and what we can do to make sure we are protected all the time.

Reverse engineering ransomeware

With our lives becoming increasingly intertwined with the internet, it is not a question of if but when you may become victim to a cyber crime. Hackers have become experts at finding weak spots in your security and ransomware is quickly becoming one of the most common ways to be targeted.

In this program, learn how ransomware is becoming a massive problem for business, small and large, and the common ways of becoming infected with malicious code. Bringing these issues to life with real ransomware demos, James will chat you through exactly how these hackers find ways to make you trust them and hand over your hard earned cash.

Hacking with words and smiles

If someone put an invoice on your desk with ‘pay me’ written in big red letters across the front, do you think you would consider who it was from before you opened your wallet? What if someone came up to you in the street and said there was someone stuck in space and they needed you to send them some money to get back? You would laugh and turn a blind eye to it. So why don’t we apply our security knowledge of the real world to our digital personas?

In this keynote, James gives you the opportunity to see these issues for yourself with live cyber security demos and explains why everyone is a target to modern day hackers. High quality social engineering is being used to access more of your information than you would think so maybe it’s time to move away from the laughable stereotypes and open our eyes to the fact that cyber crime has become more convincing than ever before.
