The event is being staged as part of Cyber Scotland Week a Scottish Government-backed initiative to showcase innovation and promote career opportunities across the sector.

Jai Aenugu, managing director of The TechForce, said: Were excited to be hosting this event and have the opportunity to share the important message of what to do in the event of a cyber-attack with a diverse audience.

Im extremely grateful to our panel of speakers for giving up their time to share their own unique perspectives on how to tackle the issue. Although any cyber-attack can often be extremely damaging it will be encouraging to hear first-hand how these individuals have helped ensure business continuity.
