Cyber Security Workshop at Co Accounting, Norwood

5 min read • Cyber Security • 2025-12-02



SME Cyber Solutions recently visited Co Accounting in Norwood, South London, to deliver a workshop designed to help attendees secure their business and digital assets.

The session directly addressed the significant threats small enterprises face. According to the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2024, approximately 50% of UK businesses experienced a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months. We focused on educating attendees about current risks, including how artificial intelligence is transforming the threat landscape for every company, regardless of size.

By providing a simple checklist of best practice security measures and sharing free tools and resources, we ensured that every participant left with a practical action plan to minimise their risk immediately.

The Workshop Covered:

  • Why cyber security matters to SMEs
  • What can cyber security do for me?
  • Common cyber security misconceptions
  • Cyber hygiene essentials
  • Email, website and hosting security explained
  • Affordable and free tools to use immediately
  • Interactive cyber security quiz
