Cyber security can feel like one of those topics you should understand, but never quite have time to get your head around.
That’s exactly why this session is part of the Wigan Business Expo 2026 workshop programme.
Running from 10:45am to 11:15am, Cyber security doesn’t have to be complicated is delivered by Sue Johnson from Intersect Cyber and IT, and it’s designed to make online protection feel clear, practical, and achievable, even if you’d describe yourself as technophobic.
Why This Matters More Than Ever
Most cyber issues do not start with something dramatic.
They start with everyday gaps that are easy to miss. Weak passwords. MFA not switched on. Systems that have not been updated. No one keeping an eye on who is logging in and when.
If those basics are not in place, your digital front door is open.
This workshop helps you close it, without fear mongering and without jargon.
What You’ll Learn in This Workshop
In just 30 minutes, Sue will break down the basics in a way that actually sticks, using everyday analogies that make it easy to understand what is happening behind the scenes.
You can expect practical guidance on:
- What modern cyber attacks really look like in day to day business
- The simple security steps that prevent most issues
- Why passwords and MFA matter, and how to make them work properly
- How updates and access checks reduce risk
- What to look out for when it comes to suspicious logins and unusual activity
- Common sense habits that protect you and your team
It is hands on, engaging, and focused on what you can do straight away.
Who Is This Workshop For?
This session is ideal for anyone using digital tools to run their business.
That includes:
- Sole traders and freelancers
- Start ups and growing SMEs
- Teams using email, cloud tools, booking systems, or online payments
- Business owners who want the basics explained clearly
- Anyone who knows they should do more, but does not know where to start
You do not need technical knowledge to benefit. You just need to use tech as part of work, which is most of us.
Leave With Clarity and Confidence
If cyber security feels overwhelming, this workshop will help you feel back in control.
You will leave with practical steps you can take straight away, and a clearer understanding of what really matters when it comes to protecting your business online.
It is a simple session, but it could save you a lot of stress later.
