We recently hosted our latest event 'Get The Most Out Of Your IT In 2024' at The Aviator Hotel in Farnborough where we gathered many local businesses to discuss how to optimise their systems and cybersecurity. The day was filled with insightful presentations, valuable networking opportunities and even some fun caricature drawings!


Our top tips from Craig Atkins' presentation 'Optimising Your IT' include:

  • Ask your IT Support provider for the cost of security alone per user per month. This gives you a baseline for your security budgeting plans for the upcoming new year.
  • After you have decided on a budget per user per month, you can start to research how best to secure your systems within that budget.
  • Talk to us about the recommended steps for each budget.
