Webinar: Cyber Uncovered – Cyber Risk Management vs IT: What’s the Difference?
Your IT provider keeps your systems running. But who is responsible for understanding, measuring and reducing cyber risk?
Many organisations assume cyber security is already covered, yet attacks continue to cause disruption, financial loss and reputational damage. IT services and cyber risk management serve different purposes, and confusing the two can leave significant gaps.
In this session, Kerrie Machin from Mitigo – PIMFA’s preferred cyber risk management partner – is joined by Alastair Huntingford, Director at Managed Service Provider (MSP), NDaxi, to discuss the practical differences between IT services and cyber risk management. This webinar will delve into why businesses need independent oversight, alongside their internal and external IT support.
Key Takeaways:
- The differences between IT services, MSP support and cyber risk management.
- Why cyber risk cannot be fully addressed through IT alone.
- An MSP perspective on where responsibilities realistically begin and end.
- Why independent oversight is necessary to gain a clear view of cyber risk.
- The questions leadership teams should be asking to understand whether they are truly protected.
Register today to gain a clear understanding of how IT services and cyber risk management differ – and why both are essential.
