Former England international footballer Sol Campbell has hosted a defensive masterclass for small businesses to help them protect themselves against cybercrime.

Research by Barclays has found, on average, London businesses have lost over £50,000 each as a result of cybercrime.

It also found more than half of London businesses have been targeted by a scam or fraudulent activity, and 24% have had to make staff redundant in order to recoup the money lost.

As part of the 'Sol Traders' workshop, the former defender discussed what businesses can learn from football.
