Event Date: Tue 9th Dec 2025
Join us for a series of bite-sized webinars designed for legal and operational business leaders. Each webinar will focus on a topical theme, combining the legal landscape with a practical output based approach to keep you informed and prepared.
The second theme in our series is dealing with cyber attacks. It is an inescapable fact that cyber attacks are on the rise. A record 204 nationally significant cyber attacks were handled by GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre in the year to September, up from 89 in the previous 12 months. Such attacks can have a significant impact on a business with it being recently reported by the BBC that M&S profits for the first half of the year were almost wiped out by its recent high profile cyber attack having plummeted 99% from £391.9m to £3.4m for the first half of the year, compared with the previous year.
In this session, our experts will explore what you should do when faced with a cyber attack both from a technical and regulatory perspective.
What You'll Learn:
- What steps you should take by way of emergency response when faced with a cyber attack
- Strategically whether you should prioritise short term pain or, as far as possible, ‘business as usual’
- What you should do from a regulatory and legal perspective when faced with a cyber attack
We are delighted to be partnering with Oli Buckley for this webinar.
