Overview

Practical cyber protection for businesses, delivered in partnership with Wiltshire Police’s Cyber Crime Prevent & Protect Team.

Phishing is one of the most common tactics used by cyber criminals, involved in over 90% of all cyber attacks. As a business, being able to recognise and respond to phishing attempts is one of the most effective ways to protect your organisation.

Join Business West's Wiltshire Chamber of Commerce for this practical online session delivered in partnership with Wiltshire Police and their Cyber Crime Prevent & Protect team, as part of our Cyber Security series.

 

What you’ll learn

In this session, you’ll discover:

• How to spot the tell-tale signs of phishing emails

Learn the subtle red flags and manipulation techniques used in real-world scams.

• Real examples of phishing attempts

See how attackers use urgency, authority and social engineering to lure victims.

• What to do if you receive a suspicious email

Practical next steps, from safe handling and reporting procedures to protecting yourself and your organisation.

This session is designed for organisations of all sizes, no technical experience required, and will equip you with the confidence to identify phishing threats before they cause harm.

 

Who should attend

Business owners, managers, HR, administrators, IT staff and anyone who uses email as part of their work.

 

Why attend?

Cyber attacks are constantly evolving, but many start with the simplest tool: an email.

Learn how to protect your people, your data and your business, and be part of a safer digital community.
