Small Business Cybercrime Protection - Email Compromise Workshop
Tuesday 26 November, 5:15 pm - 7 pm
Scam emails or ‘phishing’ are emails designed to trick recipients out of money and data. They are increasingly sophisticated and harder to spot as they mimic phrasing, branding and logos to appear ‘real’.
If you're a small business start-up or an already established business, you will benefit from learning about simple measures to help protect your business from this cybercrime.
This session will focus on business email compromise and will include:
- How to identify a fake invoice
- Ways your emails can be accessed
- Data theft
- How to avoid being compromised
Attend in person or via online webinar.
