In conjunction with October NSW Small Business Month, Mental Health Month and Cyber Security Week - Local Area Marketing & Networking Group is staging a Digital First Aid webinar

It's all about preventative measures to protect your business and individual identity from cyber and personal exploitation.

Three speakers will cover three aspects:

• Protecting Your Digital Identity with a focus on avoiding the mental distress exploitation can cause.
• Securing the Home Office.
• Cyber Security Insurance for Small Businesses – the launch of a small business /home business custom designed and affordable cyber security insurance plan.

BUSINESS AND PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP BREAK-UPS AND YOUR DIGITAL IDENTITY.

In difficult times, relationships of all kinds are challenged. The pandemic has seen an escalation in domestic violence. Many business have closed. Partnerships dissolved. Anxiety is significant.

Our reliance on the Internet and digital data is at an all-time high. Everyone is vulnerable to having their identity compromised or stolen, privacy breached and access to support limited.

This session will highlight the threats and what we can do to protect our identities and avoid additional anguish.

SPEAKER: Terence Kam - Director - iSecurityGuru.

SECURING THE HOME OFFICE

If like many people, you are working from home, having anti ‘everything” software is only part of the solution.

This session focuses on the not-so-obvious, but essential elements to safeguarding your home office. Topics include managing offline information (paper); why physical security is important; internet router pitfalls; don't let your business burn; family management; remote, secure storage; VPNs; Update, update, update.

SPEAKER: Donny McGregor – Director & Digital Transformation Consultant – Driven Digitally.

OFFICIAL LAUNCH - CYBER SECURITY INSURANCE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

Covid-19 and the growth of working from home, has brought a significant rise in cyber attacks against small business owners and home based workers. These attacks are forecast to significantly increase as small businesses are often ill-prepared to cope with cyber breaches. They cannot afford to be digitally compromised or lose client information and are easy targets for cyber criminals.

Group member Philip Watson has helped create a comprehensive and affordable small business cyber insurance policy available exclusively to Group members. He will officially launch it at this meeting explaining the preventative support and coverage it provides.

SPEAKER: Philip Watson - National Sales Manager - Insurance Made Easy (IME).
