INFORMATION SECURITY & SELF DEFENCE.

Protecting your business has never been more important. As the numbers of websites, emails & electronic files increase, & the ways to access them become more flexible, the threat to your information mounts.

This workshop will give you practical advice & guidelines to help you negotiate your way through the maze of information security threats.

An overview of five broad areas of security breaches will be given:

1. Viruses - how do I recover from a virus attack?
2. Inappropriate usage - can I prevent inappropriate usage of my company's email?
3. Unauthorised access - what risk do I face from hackers?
4. Theft - how do I safeguard my companies assets?
5. Systems failure - how to cope with major failure.

Business Plan Update

Date: Wednesday 9th December 2009
Time: 1.30pm to 4.30pm
Venue: Victoria Building Board Room
Trainer: David Skipsey, Change Mentors

Updating your business plan is a vital part of keeping your business on track for growth, & ensuring that your company keeps its focus. The business plan defines where you think your company is going & the routes that it will take to achieve success - keeping it under revision means that you can focus on these important elements.

Most of your time running a business is spent on the small stuff - the endless day to day detail that any manager of a small company is inevitably a party to, this workshop will help you look again at the high level picture that defines your business & identify any areas that may need some rework.

Key elements we will look at:

• reviewing your achievements
• updating your SWOT analysis
• updating the financial information
• updating action plans
