Cyber-crime prevention for practitioners

SESSION OVERVIEW

The rapid pace of technological change and globalisation have profoundly transformed the scale and way we work today. Individuals and organisations in the UK reported losses of £1.3bn to fraud and cybercrime in 2021 with reported instances of cybercrime spiking by seven times, rising from 39,160 to 289,437.

Cyber security experts predicted that in 2021, there would be a cyber attack incident every 11 seconds double the amount from the previous year and mainly coming in the form of ransomware and the predictions for 2022 follow this trend. As the ongoing pandemic has seen more of us working from home than ever before the setting is ripe for exploitation. The humble home router has become the surface attack, and the ‘work at home’ employee the target of choice.

Today criminals will target any business regardless of size by exploiting weaknesses both internal and external. Understanding the weaknesses in your organisation is the best way to protect your business against fraud and cyber risk allowing you the opportunity to implement effective controls mechanisms before it’s too late.

This session will consider the cyber security risks in business for practitioners and reviews the practical steps that can be taken to reduce the risks at the earliest possible stage.

KEY FEATURES

 

  • Understand the current threats of cybercrime
    • Phishing Attacks - why are they still so successful
    • Malware including Ransomware
    • Exploited & vulnerable passwords
    • Social media exploitation - giving away too much information
    • Remote working risks (including WiFi and the cloud)
  • Examining the type of cyber attacks aimed at accountants (Push frauds)
  • Creating a secure culture – IT governance and controls
  • Cyber Essentials and best practice to prevent attack
