Cyber Crime Information Event Launched

Local businesses concerned about cyber crime, fraud and hacking, have been invited to a free event on how to safely conduct business online.

At a time when businesses need an online presence but cyber crime is rife, this free event aims to arm them with the tools to protect businesses online, as well as safely storing customer information.

This event will offer you an opportunity to:

• hear the RBS Security Expert Maggie Hunter speak about the latest online security and cyber safety trends

• ask any questions or simply network with some local businesses

The event is organised by Ulster Bank in conjunction with Portadown Chamber of Commerce as part of a series of free, local #ulsterbankboost business events.

It will take place on Tuesday 25 July 2017 in Portadown Town Hall. Attendance is free, but you have to register to book your place.
