Event: Cloud and Cyber Security in an AI world

The focus for this event Cloud and Cyber Security, with an emphasis on essentials for SMEs and the increasing risks of corporate data theft. With the rapid rise in AI tools, bots, and automation — and the new vulnerabilities these can introduce — it’s more important than ever for businesses to understand the basics of IT security and how to protect themselves.

• Cyber Security Essentials – Key threats for SMEs, the importance of Cyber Essentials certification, and simple steps to protect data.

• Cloud Security & Corporate Theft – Understanding common vulnerabilities in cloud setups and how insider threats or poor controls can lead to breaches.

• AI & Emerging Threats – A look at how AI is being used by attackers (e.g. phishing, botnets, automated attacks), and how businesses can respond.

• Live Risk Assessment – An interactive section where attendees assess their own organisation’s risk using a simple tool/checklist.

• Building a Culture of Awareness – Practical ways businesses can improve staff awareness and prepare a basic response plan.

• Q&A and Signposting – Support available locally and links to further guidance.

The session would be around 2.5 hours, ideally running in September, and we’re asking delivery partners to offer this at low or no cost as part of their support for local businesses.
