Securing the Unexpected - The Friday Night Breach

In 2024, 74% of Irish businesses reported a rise in cyberattacks compared to the previous year. This sharp increase underscores that the threat landscape is not only persistent but intensifying across all sectors.1 The question is no longer if it will happen to your organisation, but when. And more importantly, will you be ready?

Alarmingly, only 9.6% of ransomware attacks occur during standard business hours.2 Now imagine this: it’s Friday evening, and you’ve just signed off for the weekend. Your phone rings. Your organisation has been breached. What happens next? Are you prepared to respond?

Join us on September 25 at Microsoft’s Dublin office for a powerful and immersive threat protection event, ‘The Friday Night Breach’, where we will walk you through a real-world, after-hours attack scenario - unpacking the behind-the-scenes timeline of how it unfolds, what mistakes are commonly made, and how it could happen to any organisation.

Joined by industry expert speakers we will explore the critical questions you should be asking about your current security posture, and the proactive steps your organisation can take to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the unexpected and learn how to secure against it.
