ABERDEEN IT and cyber security company Converged Communication Solutions has joined forces with Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) to deliver two free cyber security webinars later this month.

The online events, titled ‘What on earth is cyber security’, are designed to provide an introduction to cyber security for micro businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises that have a limited knowledge of the subject and explain how they can better protect themselves from cybercrime.

Delegates will be guided through both events by the firm’s chief security officer Robbie Ross and lead cyber security assessor John Gillies.

Robbie said: “Cyber security is a hugely important topic, but one that is overlooked by many small businesses through a lack of understanding or what they see as cryptic terminology.

“These webinars are about stripping the topic back to basics, delivering it in an easy-to understand way and addressing the different concerns people have, while highlighting how cyber security affects everyone.

“The past year has seen a digital transformation for nearly every business and household.  Coupled to that is the continually increasing threat posed from cyber-attacks, so appreciating the importance of good cyber security is more crucial than ever.”

The ‘What on earth is cyber security’ webinars will be held on Monday, 22 and Friday, 26 February between 10:00am and 11:00am.
