First stop Keele as D2NA hit the road with free Cyberfusion event to help companies to stay safe online

Cyber security experts D2NA are going on the road with a series of free events to help companies understand the vulnerabilities in their IT systems and the actions required to stay safe online.

The Cyberfusion event will include live demonstrations of how people “phish” for your information and IT experts from D2NA Ltd will also demonstrate the latest AI technology and applications.

Cyberfusion will be held at the Denise Coates Foundation building, at the Keele University business and science park, on Thursday, October 26 (9.30am to 12 noon).

Cheryl Chadwick, Marketing Director, at Longton-based D2NA, said: “We first hosted Cyberfusion at Macclesfield FC in June, and the feedback was fantastic.

“As companies found it so useful, we now intend to take it on the road, starting at Keele University. The Denise Coates Foundation building is an ideal venue as it’s a centre for forward thinking companies, combining business innovation with education.

“Cyberfusion will give visitors a guide to what threats they face and potential actions to help keep their valuable information safe.

“It will include a live phishing attempt from D2NA’s team, and there will be free resources available.

“We’re also taking a look at AI, with live examples on free to use Apps that could help your business.”

D2NA held its first event at Macclesfield FC’s Leasing.com Stadium as the company has a successful business partnership with the Silkmen.

“Ove 20 people attended and feedback was excellent,” said Cheryl. “We now want to take Cyberfusion to several different venues in Staffordshire and Cheshire.”
