Are you a small business owner or sole trader in the North East? Want to boost your cyber security knowledge and protect your business from online threats?
Cyber crime is no longer just a big-business problem. Small and local businesses across County Durham and Darlington are increasingly being targeted by online fraud, phishing emails and ransomware attacks.
These crimes can cause serious financial loss, disrupt day-to-day operations and damage customer trust.
Tackling cyber crime is essential to protecting our local economy, supporting hardworking business owners and keeping our communities safe. By raising awareness, improving digital security and encouraging early reporting, we can help small businesses stay resilient and one step ahead of criminals.
