How to Minimise the Risk of Cyber Threats in Supply Chains - A Guide for Business

Introduction

Even the smallest start-ups and micro businesses now very often have a long tail of third-party suppliers, providing everything from HR services to administration, accounts, training, employee benefits, healthcare, and a plethora of other support services, enabling smooth and efficient outsourcing of facilities that might otherwise be expensive and time-consuming to deliver in-house.

While digital technology makes the facilitation of these services increasingly frictionless, the cyber security risk, particularly with many staff working remotely on a regular basis, has never been greater.

This new virtual classroom seminar will review and analyse the main risks to be aware of and will take account of the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks before looking at the appropriate tools to enable organisations to reduce risk and demonstrate the necessary compliance.
