Reflecting on the impact of this attack, this fireside chat will explore the reactive management and security strategies put in place for protection against further digital threats.

Joined by Dr Zibby Kwecka as the Chief Information Security Officer, there will be opportunity for Q&A to tackle the issues that you may be facing, or the very real threats which may be on the horizon for all business owners.

ReBOOT is a charity and social enterprise based in Forres and as been working since 1997 to address the issue of discarded electrical equipment. ReBOOT started as a project within Moray Council and Moray Voluntary Service Organisation to deal with the Council’s own IT and hardware waste. They became a charity in 2004, and then a trading company in 2007.
Today, the ReBOOT team collects discarded domestic and commercial IT equipment from across Moray, Aberdeenshire and the Highlands. They refurbish and resell what they can, and recycle what they can’t, gaining additional income from selling high-value component materials, such as the precious metals contained in circuit boards, to specialist processors. ReBOOT currently employs six staff who oversee operations, and it has 30+ volunteers including vulnerable/supported individuals.
