UK / News release: Cyber security briefings for Manchester business leaders

Event: Thursday 8th December 2011 - Manchester City Hall

Cyber security experts are topping the bill at next week’s annual Manchester business security conference, run by CSARN, the largest security membership group in the United Kingdom. Other panelists during the day (8 December) will cover national security threats, natural disasters and contaminations, crisis management, and insurance coverage.

City Security and Resilience Networks (CSARN.org) have again chosen Manchester to host the annual ‘North West business security conference’ for the third year running, supported by the Manchester Business Continuity Forum.         

Richard Bingley, Chief Executive of CSARN, said:

“Manchester and the wider North West region host hundreds of thousands of businesses, and hundreds of iconic locations, who each face a different level of risk from business crime, security breaches and natural hazards. Through education and networking, our goal is to help companies protect their staff and assets against risks, which on the face of it can appear quite daunting and complex to begin with.”

CSARN / Business Continuity and Financial Crisis

The late 2000s global financial crisis has had a profound impact across business communities. If the international economy further deteriorates, how is business security and organisational resilience planning likely to be affected? Do large financial downturns significantly alter security and business continuity planning? And what is likely to happen to the Eurozone, and the wider international economy, during the next decade?

The business security and resilience service, CSARN, brings together a panel of eminent presenters including economists, emergency planning and security strategists, national politicians, and international business analysts, to help organisations horizon scan and prepare their security and continuity strategies to meet the challenges and opportunities presented in times of economic downturn and financial crisis.

UK / Olympics 2012 countdown: Bournemouth businesses briefed on security and staff safety by CSARN business security service
