February 17 @ 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM AEDT
Finance professionals are trusted holders of highly sensitive personal and financial data. Following on from Introduction to Cyber Security, this one‑hour webinar goes beyond the basics to unpack how modern cyber threats specifically target finance and advisory businesses, and what practical controls are required to protect client data in today’s digital environment.
You’ll gain insights on the real‑world tactics used by attackers, why traditional antivirus and “set and forget” security are no longer enough, and how managed IT services and cyber security helps finance professionals meet their obligations while maintaining client trust.
This session is designed for finance professionals who want practical understanding and who need confidence that their systems, devices, and data are being protected properly.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- What the Essential Eight is and why it matters for finance and advisory businesses
- How to identify phishing, impersonation, and social engineering attempts before damage is done
- What cyber security looks like for laptops, mobiles, tablets, and cloud‑based systems
- Why encryption, managed updates, and device policies are critical in client data protection
