Course Details

In today's digital economy, an accountancy practice's greatest asset is its data and its greatest vulnerability. Cybercriminals are no longer opportunistic hackers. They are organised criminal enterprises specifically targeting Irish Accountants for the wealth of sensitive client, payroll, and financial data that you hold. This session is crucial because the threat has evolved beyond simple viruses & poorly worded phishing emails to sophisticated, AI-powered scams and crippling ransomware attacks. The benefit of attending is moving from a position of uncertainty to one of strength. This course will empower you to safeguard your practice against financial loss, navigate your critical GDPR obligations with confidence, and ultimately fortify your reputation. By demonstrating robust security, you will improve the value you provide, securing not just your clients' finances, but their trust.

 

Liam Lynch covers the following topics during this presentation:

  • The Modern Threat to the Irish Accountancy Practice
  • The Human Firewall
  • Your Digital Keys to the Kingdom
  • The GDPR Connection
  • The First 72 Hours

L2 Cyber Security Solutions

Liam Lynch

Liam has over 30 years of experience working in IT, originally as a programmer way back in the 80s before moving into networking, infrastructure and security in the 90s. He has worked with people at all levels and has the ability to explain scary technical topics and boring legal subjects in a language that most people can relate to and understand.

Liam founded L2 Cyber Security Solutions in 2016 and it's maxim is #SecuritySimplified. This matches Liam's desire to bring easy to comprehend, cyber security awareness to everyone. Liam specialises in helping micro, small and medium businesses, and charities, as they usually don't have the in-house IT or cyber security support which larger corporates do.

L2 Cyber Security offers up-to-date, fun and easy to follow cyber security awareness training and GDPR awareness training. Since the HSE incident in May 2021, our cyber security assessment service has been very popular. We can also help organisations plan and prepare for the worst with our business resiliency planning.
