DIGITAL DEBRIEF

Exchanging knowledge and discovering more about the application of technology in the real world

Cyber Security: Are you the next target? What every business should know…

In today’s digital minefield, the best defence starts with understanding your vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. While we won’t name names, a recent retail giant’s £400 million cybersecurity lesson serves as the perfect case study for why proactive testing matters.

This event is crucial for IT and security professionals, business leaders, risk managers, operations directors and strategic decision makers across all industries. If you’re responsible for protecting digital assets, advising on security strategy or ensuring your organisation doesn’t become the next headline – this event is for you!

Cyber Security: Are you the next target?

Our next Rare Earth Digital Debrief is on the 3^rd July at The Crown Hotel Nantwich 6-8.30pm where we will be joined by two fantastic speakers who will share how cybersecurity meets real-world application in the most engaging way possible.

Our first speaker Charles Booth Co-Founder of System Secure, will take you behind the scenes of professional penetration testing, revealing how ethical hackers systematically probe networks, applications and systems to uncover critical security gaps.

• You’ll discover the methodologies that separate amateur attempts from professional-grade security assessments.
• Learn about the latest tools and techniques shaping the industry.
• Understand how penetration testing transforms from a technical exercise into actionable business intelligence.

After a short break, we’ll be joined by Sam Foden Head of Service Desk at Fifteen Group, who will reveal why traditional cybersecurity is failing and how to build a defence that actually works.

Drawing on real-world attacks, Sam will show you how to think like both hacker and defender, moving beyond basic antivirus to create smart, layered security that hunts threats before they strike.

You’ll learn practical techniques for real-time monitoring, vulnerability management and data protection that transform cybersecurity from a cost centre into a competitive advantage.

Whether defending a small business or enterprise network, this session delivers actionable strategies to stay ahead of evolving threats while keeping operations running smoothly.

Don’t wait for a breach to expose your vulnerabilities – secure your spot today. In cybersecurity, the question isn’t if you’ll be targeted, but whether you’ll be ready when it happens!
