Property professionals in all sized firms need to be aware of cyber threats

26 November 2021

What are the current cyber threats which may affect our members? What can members do to reduce risk & protect themselves? If your organisation is breached, what should you do from a regulatory and compliance perspective? Does multi-factor authentication (MFA) completely block email account takeovers? If you use cloud hosted services, are you protected from cyber security issues? Does your IT support cover cybersecurity?

Kerrie Machin speaks with Andrew Knight on these topics as they discuss the current landscape of cybersecurity threats and how you can protect your organisation.
