With 43% of UK businesses reporting a cyber security breach or attack in the last year, Hereford-based Wyvern Business Systems is hosting a free webinar to help business owners understand exactly what to do before, during and after an attack.
Taking place online on Tuesday 29 September 2026 at 2pm, Prepared by Design: What to Do Before, During and After a Cyber Attack will provide practical, jargon-free guidance for business owners and managers.
The latest UK Government Cyber Security Breaches Survey found that 43% of businesses had identified a cyber security breach or attack in the previous 12 months. Yet just 25% had a formal incident response plan in place.
Wyvern Business Systems, which has been helping businesses and individuals make better use of technology since 1999, wants the short online session to help organisations become better prepared before an incident happens.
The free 25-minute webinar will focus on three crucial stages of a cyber incident.
Before an attack: Five technical controls that can help stop many common attacks.
During an attack: The steps organisations should take during the critical first 60 minutes.
After an attack: Recovery, notification requirements and the difficult issue of ransom payments.
Sophie Stubbs, Director – Wyvern Business Systems, said:
“If your business suffered a cyber attack tomorrow, would everyone know what to do in the first hour?
When an attack happens, that isn’t the time to start deciding who is responsible for what or working out who needs to be contacted. Those first decisions can have a significant impact on the disruption that follows and how quickly a business can recover.
Our aim with this webinar is to take some of the mystery out of cyber security. You don’t need to be an IT specialist to be prepared. In just 25 minutes, we want to give business owners and managers some practical steps they can take back into their organisation and start using straight away.”
The webinar has deliberately been designed for business owners and managers rather than IT specialists, with no technical knowledge required and no sales presentation.
Everyone attending will also receive a self-audit checklist and one-page incident response plan template to use within their own organisation.
Wyvern Business Systems works with organisations across Herefordshire and the surrounding region, providing managed IT, cyber security and technology solutions.
Originally established in 1999, the business has evolved from a family-run typewriter company into a provider of IT, ergonomic and assistive technology solutions.
Sophie added:
“Cyber security can sometimes feel like something that belongs with the IT department, but responding to a serious incident is a business issue.
Twenty-five minutes spent thinking about it now could potentially save an enormous amount of time, money and disruption later.”
Prepared by Design: What to Do Before, During and After a Cyber Attack takes place online at 2pm on Tuesday 29 September 2026.
The webinar is free to attend, but registration is required.
