National Cyber Security Centre seminar: ‘Cyber Security: Keep You and Your Business Safe’

The National Cyber Security Centre is the UK’s technical authority for cybersecurity. It supports the most critical organisations in the UK, the wider public sector, industry, SMEs as well as the general public. When incidents occur they provide effective incident response to minimise harm to the UK.

Representatives from the NCSC will be presenting a broad agenda. In particular, the event will include an overview of the FREE NCSC product, 'Exercise in a Box', a complete package of exercise advice, scenarios and supporting material, which helps organisations find out how resilient they are to cyber-attacks and practice their response in a safe environment. It can also be used by non-cyber specialist staff. This is a unique innovation and an opportunity for you to improve your organisation's cybersecurity.

The session will also include further advice and guidance on how you can protect yourselves against the most common cyber-attacks, and how to encourage Board-level cybersecurity discussions.
