Business in Focus: AI and IT Systems - Balancing Innovation & Security

📅 Wednesday 4 June | 🕖 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM | 📍 McDonald Jones Stadium

As businesses embrace AI and digital tools to drive efficiency and growth, a new wave of cyber risks is emerging—fast, sophisticated, and potentially devastating. That’s why cyber security can’t be left to the IT department alone. It’s a business-wide issue, and it’s time we treated it that way.

Join us at the next Business in Focus event where we’ll explore how to balance innovation and protection in the AI era. You’ll hear from Rob Dawson, a leading voice in cyber security and the 2024 Business Hunter Outstanding Business Leader (<20 employees), as he breaks down what every business needs to know—without the jargon.

What to expect:
🔐 A clear picture of the cyber threats facing modern businesses
🛠️ Practical strategies for protecting your data, systems, and people
📊 Insights on simplifying your IT infrastructure and strengthening digital resilience
🤖 How AI is both creating risks and helping defend against them
👥 Plus, time to ask your questions and connect with other local leaders
