Cyber Security for Business - Free Bitesize Session
16 July 2026
09:00am - 12:00pm
Craven Park, Preston Road, Hull, HU9 5HE
It takes one click to put all of it at risk. This free session won't make you a security expert. It will make you a much harder target!
Cyber-crime is becoming one of the biggest risks facing businesses today and small businesses are often the easiest target.
Most attacks don’t happen because a company is famous or high profile. They happen because someone clicked the wrong link, opened a fake invoice, or didn’t realise their systems were vulnerable.
Join us for a practical and easy-to-understand cyber security session designed for businesses of all sizes, from start-ups and growing companies to established organisations. This is not a technical IT seminar. It’s a straightforward event focused on helping business owners understand the real risks, the common mistakes companies make, and the simple steps that can help protect your business, staff and customers.
