CCoC Cyber Attack Workshop: No such thing as 'too small a target'

The 2022 Cyber Security Breaches Survey provides the latest available government data and indicates that the UK is still too relaxed in its approach to third-party risk management (TPRM):

• only one out of every ten businesses review the risks posed by their direct third-party suppliers (13%); and

• just 7% of businesses review the risks posed by the wider supply chain.

It seems hard to shake the idea that cyber risk is, to paraphrase one survey respondent, primarily “something for banks and central government to worry about.” This is despite the growing number of targeted supply chain attacks on charities, local government bodies and smaller firms.

No matter how big or small your organisation is, it is both vulnerable to attacks via your third parties and a potential access point for threat actors looking for ways to target your suppliers and clients.

This one and a half hour workshop will finish at 6pm in time for our monthly Business Community meeting, at which we will be announcing the shortlist of our 2023 Business Awards. So please stick around for some Chamber networking - all are welcome.
