“What I learnt at the Directors Briefing has literally already saved us 100’s of man hours internally.”

CEO, Gallagher Construction

AI has changed cyber risk. Are you prepared?

Criminals no longer need technical skill.

AI now automates the high-end attacks once aimed only at large enterprises and fires them at thousands of SMEs at near-zero cost.

Most SMEs don’t realise how fast this has moved.

This briefing cuts through the noise and gives you a clear view of the modern threat landscape, the business risks and the steps you must take in 2026.

“I found it absolutely fantastic, I really enjoyed it and the relationship with Ziptech has certainly saved us a lot of money on the bottom line.”

Simon Smith,
Managing Partners, Wellers Accountants

The Directors Briefing will help you transform your business

This cyber security directors briefing is for service-based SMEs where senior leaders are making technology and security decisions without internal IT strategy support.

This is a business briefing, not a technical session.

No IT knowledge is required.

You will see:

  • how AI impersonation bypasses people and payment processes
  • how identity takeover now drives most SME breaches
  • how modern attack chains run end-to-end automatically
  • the steps every SME must take to stay protected in 2026

See how modern attacks actually work

You’ll see live demonstrations showing how criminals now use AI:

  • Deepfake video impersonation
  • Voice clone that sounds like a senior team member
  • Phishing emails generated in seconds using public information
  • Modern attack chain walkthrough (scanning → exposure → identity takeover → data theft → extortion)

These demos show exactly why traditional cyber security no longer holds up.

What Leaders Say About Our Directors Briefing

“Attending the Director’s Briefing was a real eye-opener for me. It was well-structured, engaging, and full of valuable insights that made me think differently about how we approach AI in business. It gave me fresh ideas and practical takeaways that I can actually use. I also really enjoyed the discussions—they were thought-provoking and genuinely useful. If you’re a business leader looking for new perspectives and innovative strategies, I’d definitely recommend it.”

Guy van der Knaap

Director, MCS Rental Software

“I attended one of Ziptech’s Directors Briefing sessions where I gained enough information to identify and prevent a sophisticated CEO impersonation attack. It could have caused significant losses. When I raised the alarm, Ziptech was on the case within minutes, sourcing the point of access, heightening controls and ensuring changes made by the intruders were cleared.”

Philip Dainton

Financial Director, Medex Scientific

“The Directors Briefing made me really think about tech as an enabler for the business and how much more efficient it would be if we changed our processes. I came back and did an audit of how we work. IT and business improvement is now on our main agenda. Interacting with the presenters and other company directors in a relaxed environment is a great way to take it all in.”

Jane O’Gorman

Director, Ten2Two
