Cyber attacks will be the hot topic at a business networking event in the Forest of Dean on March 22.

The Federation of Small Businesses has joined forces with Vantage Point Business Village in Mitcheldean to stage the event from 10am-noon.

It is intended to be a new type of quarterly informal networking event with a series of discussion about key subjects affecting business and expert speakers.

The first meeting will concentrate on the subject of cyber security and what SMEs can do to avoid being the victim of the biggest rising crime in business - hacking and cyber-attacks.

There will be three speakers on the morning each doing a short presentation and there will also be an opportunity to informally network throughout.

The event will be free with light refreshments included.
