Cybercrime is really big business. 39% of British businesses have been the victim of cyberattacks in the last year and yet only 23% have a formal cyber security strategy in place. As business analysts, much of what we do involves data, but what can we do to make sure that it is kept secure and available to only the people who need it? By exploring some of the most significant, interesting and sometimes the most absurd breaches in recent years, this session will show you what we have learned from these incidents and will show you what we can do to avoid your organisation being next.
In this session you will learn lots of interesting facts about this topical subject!
You will learn:
• How hackers take advantage of weaknesses and oversights in your organisation.
