Cyber criminals do not need to hack everything. Long, drawn-out attacks requiring specialised skills and ability are gone. Nowadays they only need one weak password, one exposed system, or one rushed click to bring the house down.

For accountants, whether in practice or industry, the stakes are especially high: client data, financial systems, and trusted access make firms and finance teams an attractive target. In this 45-minute session, delivered by Mitigo, ICAS's trusted cyber risk management partner, we'll cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters: where the most common gaps hide, why even well-run firms and finance functions still get caught out, and the practical steps you can make to close your own gaps before they're exploited.

This isn't a technical deep dive. It's a clear, practical briefing designed to leave you with actions you can implement immediately.
