SUMMARY:Beyond Awareness: Practical Cyber Security for Small Businesses
DESCRIPTION:Practical cyber security for small businesses: recognise risk\, make safer decisions\, use AI wisely and strengthen everyday working practices. \nCyber security problems do not always look like cyber security problems. \nThey often appear inside ordinary work: an invoice that looks familiar\, a supplier asking for access\, a phone that goes missing\, a customer message being copied into an AI tool\, or a request that seems completely legitimate. \nBeyond Awareness is a practical\, interactive cyber security session for small businesses\, being held at The Peel Hotel in Tamworth. \nRather than focusing on fear\, jargon or long lists of threats\, the session looks at the decisions people make during everyday work and the practical controls that can make those decisions safer and easier. \nParticipants will work through realistic business situations\, explore how modern threats can appear inside familiar processes\, and consider how to apply proportionate security without making normal work unnecessarily difficult. \nWhat the session covers\nDuring the session\, participants will explore: \n\nhow modern cyber threats can affect everyday small-business activity\nphishing\, smishing and deepfake-enabled requests that may look convincing\nhow AI can make impersonation and social engineering harder to recognise\nransomware\, OSINT and supply-chain risk\nsafer remote working and mobile-device use\nsharing information and giving suppliers or third parties access\npractical ways to secure business accounts\, phones\, laptops and home-working environments\npreparing for recovery when something goes wrong\nusing AI more safely\, including what information goes in and how much confidence to place in what comes back\nhow to identify one practical improvement that could make cyber security safer or easier within your own business\n\nWhat makes this session different\nThis is not a “spot the scam” presentation or a checklist of things employees should never do. \nThe session uses realistic situations to explore: \n\nwhat makes a request feel believable\nwhat information actually matters\nwhen a pause or check is worthwhile\nwhat a proportionate response looks like\nwhat the business itself can put in place to make safer choices easier\n\nThe aim is not to make people suspicious of everything. It is to help people make better-informed decisions when something looks normal\, familiar or urgent. \nWho is it for?\nThis session is suitable for: \n\nsmall-business owners\ndirectors and managers\nemployees in small organisations\nfreelancers and sole traders\npeople responsible for customer data\, payments\, suppliers\, systems or day-to-day business operations\n\nNo technical cyber security background is required. \nCommunity & micro-business tickets\nWe want the session to be accessible to smaller local organisations as well as established businesses. \nA limited number of Community / Micro-Business tickets are available for: \n\nsole traders\nfreelancers\ncharities and community organisations\nmicro-businesses with fewer than 5 employees\n\nThese reduced-rate tickets are intended for organisations that may find the standard ticket price harder to justify. \nNo formal evidence is required — we simply ask people to choose the ticket honestly if it best reflects their organisation. \nPlaces are limited and subject to availability. \nDelivery style\nThe session is live\, practical and discussion-led\, combining concise explanation with realistic scenarios\, decision-making exercises and opportunities to relate the learning to your own business. \nIt will be delivered in person at The Peel Hotel\, Tamworth\, giving local businesses the chance to learn together\, ask questions and work through realistic situations in a practical setting. \nNo fear. No blame. No unnecessary jargon. \nBy the end of the session\nParticipants will have explored how to: \n\nrecognise when a familiar request deserves a closer look\nmake safer choices around devices\, remote working and third-party access\nunderstand what common security controls are there to protect\nuse AI with more appropriate scrutiny\nidentify one area of their own business that could be made safer or easier to follow\n\nBeyond Awareness is designed to help small businesses move beyond simply knowing that cyber risk exists — and towards making safer\, more practical decisions when it appears inside everyday work. \nVenue: The Peel Hotel\, Tamworth
