Entry Level Cyber Security Courses

Entry Level Cyber Security Courses

As part of the BID’s commitment to strengthening business resilience across Hammersmith, we are pleased to be supporting the Police Digital Security Centre and presenting our local businesses with the opportunity to learn more about cyber crime.

The online webinars will examine how attacks such as identify theft, malware, phishing scams, ransomware , and email spoofing can have a devastating impact on business’ operating capabilities and livelihoods.

Cyber Basics for Small Businesses is a three week instructor-led training series which takes attendees through the GCA Cybersecurity Toolkit for Small Business in non-technical, bite-sized segments. It will explain the risks and common methods of attack and offer practical suggestions to avoid falling victim.

Between each weekly session, small businesses can implement tools from within the Toolkit to improve their resilience to cyber attack and reinforce the training material. Support is provided via the online GCA Community Forum.

The three sessions are as follows:

  • April 14th – Understanding cyber risk and how it affects your business. Securing accounts with good password practices.
  • April 21st – Protecting your business from phishing and malware with anti-virus and DNS security.
  • April 28th – The importance of backing up your data, and email security.

Sessions will be held each Wednesday lunchtime at 1pm and repeated again at 6pm.
