All speakers will be covering the risks of cybercrime to businesses and how catastrophic a breach can be.

The event, put on by Carlisle-based IT business Logic Business Systems, said: “Cyber security is relevant to everyone, whether they’re a self-employed one-man band or a huge multi-site enterprise.

“We’re aiming to raise awareness to all businesses about the risks of insufficient cyber security and how detrimental it can be to not just themselves but also their customers.

“There is also the opportunity to network with other local businesspeople, allowing them to chat about their own businesses and make new connections.
