CYBER security will be the focus of the third 2024 Destination Basingstoke Ambassador Community (DBAC) event.

It follows a successful series that has already featured Money Matters and Artificial Intelligence discussions.

The event will be held at Oakley Hall from 9am to 11.30am on Thursday, September 12; tickets are currently available for DBAC members and non-members.

The agenda includes a panel discussion featuring Sonal Agarwal, co-founder of RightCue Assurance, Simon Adams and Chris Cooper, a cyber security consultant from Rougemont Security, and Marc Woosnam, director of services at Centerprise International.

Since its inception in February, the DBAC has grown its membership to 60.

Given that it operates on a subscription basis, members can receive benefits that equate to roughly half the membership cost.

The group has indicated that both local charities and community organisations can secure a discounted membership of £180 per year plus VAT.

Jonathan Pender, chair of Destination Basingstoke, said: "Cyber security is definitely one of the hot topics for business and individuals, and we are delighted our four expert speakers will be able to give DBAC members and other guests an interesting and informative insight into this subject."
