EVENT OVERVIEW

Cybersecurity can be intimidating to keep up with, yet risky to ignore. So what should organisations in the culture sector be aware of?

Thanks to our partners at REANNZ, we’re inviting cybersecurity experts James Fitzsimons and Dean Pemberton from Bastion Security Group and Aaron Murrihy from REANNZ to give us the lowdown on the current state of cybersecurity. 

Join the webinar to learn about specific threats and risks to the GLAMIR sector and understand the types of protection possible. You’ll raise your awareness of cybersecurity and see what your organisation can do to stay safe in the current environment. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions at the end.

This session is a broad overview and will accommodate those with varying levels of expertise. It will be especially useful for those working in IT, Digital, and Operations—and informative for anyone making decisions regarding systems or working with staff, visitor and collection data. This could include executive, HR, legal, procurement, finance, collections, and marketing staff.
