"In my role as CTO for an emerging Marketing Automation company, IT security and Cyber Risk are increasingly important to me. I came across the Surviving Cyber course as my company had previously done some successful IT Risk Analysis Work with John Byrne. John is a very professional person with an engaging manner and a keen knowledge of IT Security and Cyber Risk Management. The course itself was very interesting and well structured. Over five weeks, John led us through a series of presentations and activities to introduce us to the key topics around Cyber Risk. The course was very interactive with John taking an interest in how the topics could be applied to our companies. There was always time for questions at the end of the presentation. In the final week, there was an opportunity to have a session with John to devise our own ‘Pathway to Peace of Mind from Cyber risk’. I’d highly recommend the course for both IT and Management professionals who would like to gain an insight into this important area in quite a short period of time."

"As a Trustee and non-executive Board member of a UK Charity, I have always been uncomfortable about my lack of appreciation of the variety of cyber risks that the Charity faces and how to manage these risks. The Surviving Cyber course provided a clear and intelligible progression from cause to effect and then suggested a potential response. I believe that the course provides an initial basis from which to build an effective risk management posture. It is the first course I've seen that is designed to bridge the knowledge gap between being cyber unaware and cyber informed. I now have the foundational knowledge to have a meaningful discussion with the information security professionals implementing the cyber risk management plan for our operation – Peace of Mind indeed."

"Prior to the Surviving Cyber course, I was naïve to cyber risk to say the least and certainly how exposed I was even as a one-man Ltd company. I took the course as an opportunity to primarily educate myself more on the risk’s cyber presents to myself, my clients and indeed the wider market. The course ended up being much more than just education. The Surviving Cyber course is exceptionally well put together. A progressive and ‘building block’ approach to each weekly session, with accompanied contextual tasks allowed me to assess my own performance and application of measures to reduce cyber risk within my business and for my clients. I finished the course with a clear pathway to peace of mind, and an answer to the crucial question; “How can I best protect myself and my Business from Cyber risk”. John’s guidance helped me produce a worked plan that is directly relevant to my business with clear actions I can take in the short, medium, and long-term, with specific guidance provided on a one-to-one basis by John. I would highly recommend the course to anyone interested in reducing their cyber exposure – which really should be everyone!"

“Cyber security is of paramount importance to both our firm and our clients. This course took us through a process that helped us to identify potential weaknesses so that we could strengthen our cyber security. It also reinforced the fact that the solution has to come from the top down and it must encompass all our people and all our systems. This course is an eye-opener and if you are a business owner, I would highly recommend it”.

"I previously thought that cybersecurity was something our IT provider would look after. The potential risk to our business and our clients from a Cyber-attack was something I had not considered before. Thanks to the Surviving Cyber course, I now see that is not exactly the case. Cybersecurity was an important issue before COVID-19, but having staff working from home has highlighted the seriousness of the risk for me. Thankfully, after completing the Surviving Cyber course I am now fully Cyber risk-aware. What the course has brought to me is a real eye-opener. I believe the understanding and knowledge I gained is of immense value to my business. The content of the course and the way John delivers it is clear and concise and I have actioned what I have learned. The IT guys have been on site for a full assessment of our hardware, software, firewall etc., and I now have Cyber insurance in place. If we are unfortunate enough to find ourselves attacked someday, I now have a clear Cyber pathway and I’m confident I can manage the risk.”
