Secure Your Digital World with the HUNTED Team.  How to Fight The Hackers

Event Description

If you’re a fan of Channel 4’s massively successful programme Hunted, this is one workshop you absolutely have to be at.

As part of Portsmouth & South Coast Business Week, we’re bringing you a special, high-impact Cyber Security Masterclass led by two of the show’s standout Hunters - Danni Brooke and Ben Owen. These aren’t just TV personalities… they’re world-class investigators with decades of real-world intelligence experience, and they’re stepping out from behind the screens to share what they know best.

What to Expect
Across 1.5 hours, Danni and Ben will take you deep inside the world of digital vulnerabilities — the exact weak spots criminals look for, how they exploit them, and the simple, practical steps you can take right now to protect yourself, your family, your team and your business.

Expect real examples, powerful insights, and an actionable security checklist that you can take away and put to use immediately. This isn’t theory — it’s hands-on, straight-from-the-field knowledge from people who have lived it.

About Your Hosts
Ben Owen is internationally recognised for his expertise in cyber security, covert operations and intelligence. With over 24 years of combined military, government and private sector experience - from sniper training to high-level cyber intelligence advising - Ben brings a level of credibility you simply won’t find anywhere else. He’s also Co-Founder of The OSINT Group, a global leader in digital footprint protection and online investigations training. And of course, you’ll know him from the UK, US and Australian versions of Hunted.

Danni Brooke is an Investigations and Intelligence specialist with more than a decade serving as an undercover operative with the Metropolitan Police. She’s worked on some of the most high-risk operations imaginable - tackling drug traffickers, organised crime networks and more. She’s also a Co-Founder of The OSINT Group, an award-winning author, and a familiar face on TV thanks to Hunted and other major series.

Why You Should Attend
Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever - and no business, big or small, is immune. This workshop isn’t about scaremongering; it’s about empowerment. It’s about understanding your digital footprint, spotting the risks before criminals do, and building confidence around how to stay safe online.

You’ll leave with:
- A stronger understanding of digital vulnerabilities
- Practical, instant steps to tighten your personal and business security
- Insights from two of the UK’s most respected intelligence experts
- A renewed awareness of how to protect the people and data you care about

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to learn from the absolute best in the business — and to do it during Portsmouth & South Coast Business Week makes it even better.

If you care about staying safe online (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), you won’t want to miss this.
