Cyber threats are getting smarter and more dangerous by the day, with search fund acquisitions increasingly finding themselves in hackers’ crosshairs. Criminals target these businesses precisely because they often operate with stretched IT resources, older systems, and gaps in security expertise—making them both attractive and vulnerable targets.

We’ve created this comprehensive session specifically for Search Funds, Searchers and CEOs along with their leadership teams running search fund-acquired companies. You’ll get a no-nonsense breakdown of today’s most dangerous threats, including new AI-powered attacks, sophisticated data extortion schemes, evolving ransomware tactics, and social engineering ploys targeting both staff and executives.

What you’ll learn:

• Concrete strategies to protect company value by spotting and addressing security gaps before they become expensive breaches

• Practical approaches to building scalable security foundations that work even with limited technical resources

• Clear guidance on meeting investor expectations for governance, risk management, and regulatory obligations

• Straightforward advice on evaluating and selecting right-sized security solutions that actually work for mid-sized businesses

• Structured guidance on conducting cybersecurity assessments to evaluate organizational risks during due diligence or post-acquisition integration

Whether you’re building for long-term growth or preparing for an eventual exit, strong cybersecurity protects what matters most: your operations, customer trust, and investor returns.
