Local businesses are being invited to attend a police-led session focused on how to respond to increasing cyber security risks.
The event, part of the Bedford Breakfast Club series, will take place on Wednesday 20 May at Bedfordshire Golf Club. Alexandra Rowlands, from the Cyber Protect & Prevent team at Bedfordshire Police, will lead the session, outlining current threats and practical steps organisations can take to strengthen their resilience.
The discussion will cover areas including threat intelligence, cyber preparedness and business continuity. As digital risks continue to affect organisations of all sizes, the session is intended to help businesses better understand where they may be exposed and how to respond.
The Bedford Breakfast Club has been running for more than a decade and brings together businesses from across Bedford, Milton Keynes and the surrounding area. Held on the third Wednesday of each month, the events combine networking with speaker-led sessions focused on issues affecting day-to-day business operations.
Business MK has also come on board as media partner, supporting wider awareness of the events and the businesses involved.
Kerry Ransby, events manager in the marketing and business development team at Woodfines Solicitors, said: “Cyber security remains a key concern for many organisations, regardless of size or sector. This session is designed to give businesses a clearer understanding of the risks they face and the practical steps they can take to reduce them. The Bedford Breakfast Club continues to provide a useful forum for businesses to connect and stay informed.”
The event is supported by Woodfines Solicitors, Forvis Mazars and Metro Bank.
It runs from 7:45am to 9:15am, with tickets priced at £22, including breakfast.
