Having attended the Cyber Resilience Workshop in October 2024, Co-Founder Ben Anderson from Pre-Law LLP had a positive experience attending the workshop:

"Attending the Cyber Resilience Workshop emphasised the importance of staying vigilant about potential cyber threats, even in areas that are easy to overlook but could have serious consequences for our business.

"One of the immediate actions we took after the workshop was reviewing our cyber insurance policy to ensure compliance, and we are now in the process of updating our cyber response plan. The insights from the police speakers, including real-life case studies and statistics on local businesses, made the session incredibly relevant and impactful. Seeing the tools that hackers use and going through the Business Model Canvas were especially beneficial—this was an exercise we continue to refer to as we strengthen our own resilience.

"Not only was this workshop highly valuable, we’ve since started a student internship project with the cyber team. This initiative, focused on integrating AI into our research model, is something we are very excited about and believe will greatly enhance our client offerings. We look forward to a long and productive partnership with the cyber team and would like to thank them for the work they have done so far!"
