Does cybersecurity feel like an impossible, expensive task?. In this video, Simon Batchelar (Pallant Studio) and Paul Everington (Everwell Associates) discuss why many business owners find cyber risk difficult to visualise compared to physical security, often leading them to believe they are too small to be targeted.

We break down the technical jargon and share simple, cost-effective steps you can take immediately to protect your business. From the importance of automatic updates to implementing password managers like Bitwarden or 1Password, we cover the essentials that don't require a massive budget.
