long East Midlands Chamber conference. Lockdown Your Data: East Midlands Cyber
I
Security Week, held in partnership with De Montfort University (DMU), will bring together businesses, digital specialists and policymakers to provide insights and tools on an issue that has become more prominent during Covid-19. Taking place from Monday 1 March to Friday 5
March, it will involve industry leaders and experts delivering webinars each day – giving delegates the opportunity to understand the challenges faced from cyber-crime, how to establish a holistic, risk-based approach to cyber security, and how to devise and implement continuity and recovery plans. The National Cyber Security Centre warned
that phishing scams rose by more than 600% in the early stages of the pandemic. Diane Beresford, the Chamber’s Deputy Chief
Executive and Digital Lead, said: “As technology is incorporated into more aspects of our daily lives, remote working has become the norm. This has meant cyber-crimes and cyber security have evolved and diversified, bringing new challenges. Our event has been designed to inform and support businesses looking to understand the strategic decisions needed to ensure digital resilience.”
dentifying the practical steps that businesses should take to protect themselves against cyber-crime is the aim of an upcoming week-
Cyber Week will explore a range of themes,
including online security, digital identity, homeworking solutions, process automation, data redundancy, scalability, best practice, emerging technologies, threat detection and landscapes, malware and the human factor, and risk reduction. Presenters include C-level speakers from
businesses at the forefront of IT and cyber security, such as Chamber strategic partners Air IT and RSM, and patrons Highlander, Quiet Storm and RDS Global. Professor David Mba, Pro Vice-Chancellor for
research and enterprise at the university, said: “With more and more people working remotely, on a variety of devices, staying safe online and protecting data has arguably never been more important. As one of the country’s leading centres for cyber security, DMU is delighted to be teaming up with East Midlands Chamber to ensure businesses get the advice and support they need to protect them against cyber-crime.” Other sponsors include Air IT, Highlander,
Quiet Storm, RDS Global, RSM, Kazzoo, Neuways and the Police Digital Security Centre.

Business Awards to celebrate collaboration
The past year has involved great examples of businesses teaming up to prosper despite the pandemic – and such alliances will be recognised at this year’s East Midlands Chamber Business Awards. A brand-new category for Collaboration Project of the Year has been
introduced for the 2021 awards to celebrate success stories of pioneering partnerships within Chamber membership. There’s also a new-look Excellence in Innovation award, which replaces
the Innovation in Manufacturing category as more ground-breaking firms are invited to showcase how they are pushing boundaries in their sectors. Fresh off the back of virtual awards ceremonies being held for the first time
across the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Business Awards throughout November and December, entries are now open for this year. Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “These awards are a great
opportunity to shout about what our region has to offer and the Chamber – along with our sponsors, whose continued support enables us these
celebrations to happen – can’t wait to read another set of high-quality entries.” Alongside the new awards, there will also be a return for the
Environmental Impact Award introduced last year, as well as old returning favourites such as Apprentice of the Year, Community Impact, Excellence in International Trade and Small Business of the Year. There will also be an overall Business of the Year for each county chosen
by headline sponsor Mazards. Last year’s winners were PR Marriott Drilling (Derbyshire), Air IT (Nottinghamshire), and db automation and Premier Bowl Feeders (Leicestershire). The deadline for entries this year is Friday 7 May and finalists will be announced on Thursday 30 June, with the awards ceremonies to take place later in the year.
