Episode notes
Following our very popular previous episode on cyber-security, Francis West agreed to come back and give us all an update. Everything is constantly evolving within cyber-security, and as a self-employed business owner you can't afford to leave this to chance - you must take steps to protect yourself otherwise the consequences can be devastating. Every 19 seconds a UK company suffers a successful cyber attack. It's an alarming fact that 48% of people will not go back to a business that has suffered a cyber attack, so please join us to hear the latest scams. We're talking about:
- Why just protecting your email is not enough;
- Why you shouldn't assume that your IT team are also cyber-security experts;
- What happened to the Mum who was just minutes away from losing £1500 to her 'son' on WhatsApp;
- The latest LinkedIn scam that is specifically targeting people who are new to their current job;
- Two reasons why people get attacked (lack of education and lack of better systems);
