Cyber Security is truly one of the greatest challenges facing businesses globally today. As the threat landscape grows in complexity, are business owners truly aware of the risks they face? In this invite-only, free breakfast briefing, HOMS Solicitors together with partners ActionPoint, Renaissance and Arachas aim to educate and empower attendees in three key areas: Corporate Governance, Cyber Security Technology and Cyber Insurance policies.

Ahead of “De-Risking Cyber Security” , we profile the three speakers who will be providing expert advice and insights on the cyber challenges facing businesses today. With years of experience assisting companies in protecting against cyber risks, these speakers will be a number of key takeaways for all attendees.
