The NALC Annual Conference is set to take place on the 28/29 October this year and will highlight the role of Local Councils in strengthening their communities.
This will be an excellent opportunity for councillors, clerks, county officers, members, exhibitors and sponsors to network and share good practice, and to develop solutions to local issues.
This vision puts Local Councils at the heart of building stronger communities in a post-Brexit world.
Cyber Security Training Workshop
1 in every 4 Councils experienced a cyber security incident between 2013 and 2017*, so now is the time to raise your Council’s cybercrime awareness.
Is your Council aware of what insurance solutions are out there to protect itself against cybercrime? Do you know how best to protect your Council’s IT hardware and assets?
Andy Hall, our Cyber Insurance Specialist, is delivering Workshop B on Cyber security at NALC’s Annual Conference on 28 October 2019. This session will provide practical tips about the different types of cybercrime you need to protect your Council against, as well as the various types of insurance solution available to protect it.
