From fake invoices to hacked email accounts: cybercrime is an increasing risk for businesses. Smaller companies and self-employed individuals, in particular, are attractive targets because they are often part of a larger supply chain. Nevertheless, the threat is often underestimated, with all the associated consequences.
That’s why CCRC, MKB The Hague and the Municipality of The Hague are organizing the Think and Drink: Cyber-Resilient Entrepreneurship event. For all entrepreneurs in the SME sector, with or without staff: this gathering will help you make your business digitally resilient. An inspiring afternoon full of insights, relatable real-world examples, and practical tips.
Speakers
The afternoon will be opened by Saskia Bruines, Alderman for Finance, Culture, and Economic Development of the Municipality of The Hague, and Pieter Scholten, Chairman of MKB Den Haag. They will emphasize the importance of digital security for both The Hague’s and national SMEs.
Keynote speaker Martin Koopmans, senior crisis manager at the Cyber Chain Resilience Consortium (CCRC), will immerse participants in the reality of cybercrime. How do you recognize threats specific to your business? What preventive measures can you take to reduce risks? And perhaps most importantly: how do you respond if things go wrong?
Afterwards, Odido HQ, host of this event, will deliver a word of thanks. This will be followed by a networking reception, offering ample opportunity to share experiences and make new contacts.
