Cyber crime

With IT absolutely central to many farm businesses and farm payment transfers being made, you can’t afford to be hit by a cyber attack.

That’s why NFU Midlands has teamed up with West Midlands Cyber Security Centre (WMCRC), a police-led partnership, to offer NFU members in the region the best advice on avoiding being targeted by online criminals.

Join us for a free webinar between 12pm and 1pm on 13 October with WMCRC expert, detective inspector Vanessa Eyles.

What’s being covered?

  • Why the agricultural sector is at risk of cyber attacks.
  • Who carries out cyber attacks.
  • Easy steps you can take to protect your business.
  • How the WMCRC can help.

NFU Midlands policy manager, Sarah Faulkner, said: “The information and advice in this webinar will be crucial for members who manage their business IT systems, finance and wider online security.

“Farming is vulnerable to cyber attacks by ruthless online criminals using increasingly sophisticated methods to cause major disruption to business activity by hacking into your computers and accessing your data and money.”
