Learning series for business leaders
HMC Communications introduces: CRUNCH, crucial conversations over lunch.
This 90-minute lunchtime learning series tackles topics, issues and concerns shared by most business leaders no matter what industry they operate within.
HMC is excited to launch our CRUNCH series with guest speaker, Dr Ryan Ko, a world-leading expert on cybersecurity.
During this workshop, Ryan will briefly set the scene to introduce the current state of cybercrime in New Zealand. He and the HMC team will then lead you through an interactive desktop exercise simulating a cyberattack scenario using an actual real event as the basis.
You’ll walk away with:
1. A better understanding of cybersecurity risks to your organisation
2. Information and referrals to resources you can use to get better prepared
3. An appreciation for how your organisation can communicate well during a cyberattack crisis
CRUNCH is developed for business owners, managers and senior leaders. This workshop is not geared for IT professionals.
