What did the Romans do for us?; a thought provoking backdrop for the latest EasylifeIT™ TechTalk.
Peterborough Museum was an excellent and inspiring choice of venue for our latest informal discussion around Trojan horses and other such threats to your business IT infrastructure.
Presented by Lindsey Hall, Managing Director of EasylifeIT™; Cybersecurity for Small Business was the talking point; with a short briefing and an open discussion about what can be done to protect their business and the best way to do so from such threats varying from viruses to malware. The relaxed format allowed those who attended to take away some relevant tips and advice to practically introduce into their businesses.
Lindsey commented; “The key message we want people to take away is that just having an antivirus is not enough! There is no technological silver bullet and no amount of security product which will compensate for carelessness or lack of staff training. Education is absolutely key”
She continued; “We would very much like to thank Peterborough Museum who as well as providing excellent facilities also kindly arranged a private tour afterwards of what is an often overlooked gem in our city^.
Attendees today were unanimous in their appreciation of the unique and relaxed format of the TechTalk series and the advice and information they could take away. Comments included:
