Amazon and FSB are delighted to bring you a series of three free events designed to help you protect your business. We know your business is your world, and as our lives become ever more digital, opportunities to explore new markets are growing, however so are threats to your business. The series covers three relevant and contemporary topic areas, accessible and open to all businesses.

Surveys indicate that as many as 44% of small businesses in the UK have been targeted by fraudsters with one in four businesses falling victim to fraud. A massive £18.9 billion is the estimated loss to UK small businesses. The reality is that fraud is a serious problem for small businesses who are highly susceptible to fraudsters.

This session will focus on how you can be cyber aware and ensure your business is protected from online fraud and scams. You'll hear pragmatic and practical advice so you can take action to ensure you are protected from online fraud and scams.  

In this session, we'll cover:

  • The most common types of attacks affecting UK businesses right now
