Sushi n’ Wine Roundtable: ‘Cyber Security Solved – easy steps you can take’

Sushi, Wine & Cyber Security: Join Us for a Practical Roundtable on Digital Risk

In today’s digital landscape, cyber security is no longer a concern reserved for IT teams—it’s a business-critical priority for franchisors, franchisees, and the professionals who support them.

On Tuesday 8 July 2025, join us at FranchisingWA for a lunchtime roundtable that pairs fresh sushi and wine with an equally fresh take on cyber risk. This interactive session is designed to provide real-world, practical advice on how franchise networks can strengthen their cyber security without the overwhelm.

What to Expect

Led by Peter Stulcbauer of Martarna, a specialist in digital risk and resilience, this session will deliver clear, actionable strategies you can apply straight away. Whether you’re new to cyber planning or looking to strengthen existing protocols, you’ll gain insight into:

  • Implementing scalable cyber protection across franchise networks

  • Cyber frameworks that actually work in the franchising sector

  • Lessons learned from real-world breaches and prevention efforts

This isn’t just theory—it’s tailored, relevant guidance for those operating in franchise environments, where data, brand trust, and operational systems are tightly interconnected.

Who Should Attend?

This session is ideal for:

  • Franchisors

  • CEOs and Executives

  • Field Managers and BDMs

  • Master Franchisees and Franchisees

  • IT Professionals supporting franchise operations
