Growing Safely: Cyber Security, Software, and AI
Growing businesses take on new software, new suppliers and, increasingly, AI tools faster than they can check what each one does with their data. This session is about keeping up without risking security.

As a business grows, so does its footprint. Every new hire needs accounts, every new customer adds records, and every new platform is another supplier holding your data. Add AI tools that can read, write and act on that data, and it gets harder to say with confidence who has access to what.
In this webinar, we will sit down with Simon Bridge, Technical Director at Cambridge Cyber Security, to discuss the questions growing businesses bring to us about keeping their data, systems and customers safe.
Together we will look at what changes as you scale, how to vet the suppliers and platforms that hold your data, how to get the benefits of AI-first tools while staying in control, and finish with the essentials every growing business should have in place to stay secure.
