16 July, 1.30pm, RSM Office: Cyber Essentials for Businesses – Building Cyber Resilience

Cybersecurity is no longer the sole responsibility of IT professionals. As digitalisation accelerates with AI adoption, organisations should shift from mere compliance to cultivating robust cyber resilience. This goal demands coordinated awareness, strategic planning, and systematic action, across all levels and departments to minimise costly business impact. 

Spot hidden risks and strengthen controls to confidently navigate today’s complex threat landscape. Through best practices sharing and a hands-on incident response tabletop exercise, you’ll apply key learnings and assess your readiness to tackle real-world cyber incidents effectively. 

  • Get an overview of evolving cyber threat landscape and technology risks
  • Know the key learnings from recent cyber and data breach incidents
  • Get practical with a cyber incident response playbook for strategic risk assessment and management
BONUS: SCTP Members get a Cyber Risk Scorecard when you sign up for a no-obligatory 15-min Digital 1-1 Clinic on cyber & data protection advisory.


SCTP reserves the right to vary any aspect of the event/ webinar should the situation warrant or due to unforeseen circumstances. This includes but not limited to the following: cancel the programme, change the venue, speakers, programme dates, fees and CPE hours. SCTP will take reasonable effort to notify participants of the changes.
