Cybersecurity month

BDO Cyber Security Month: ‘Driving Cyber Resilience'

1 October marks the start of Cyber Security Month, dedicated to raising awareness - internally and externally - of this highly important topic.

In today's world, it is hard to imagine life without our devices, immediate access to your information, imagery retrievable at a moment's notice, and effective management of confidential data for our professional and personal electronic lives. As we evolve towards an agile workplace and workforce, the cyber threats will only increase.

This year's central theme of BDO's Cyber Security Month is: DRIVING CYBER RESILIENCE.

Throughout the month of October, several of our firms are organising a variety of webinars and in-person events, addressing distinct cyber security aspects. The timetable and executive summary can be found below. Registrations are open for BDO people and clients.

For more information, please contact Saray Meron.
