NCSC CEO, Lindy Cameron’s direct message to business leaders:
“I’m sure there will be business leaders across the country who think: ‘It’s too complicated.’ Unfortunately, for businesses today, cyber security is essential. Given the potential impact that breaches can have, all business leaders must take this threat seriously – or risk significant business impact.”
We will provide business leaders with the information needed to be prepared, including:
1. The key facts
Understand what’s happening, in a simplified, easy to understand format. You should be fully informed of the situation with an appreciation of the risks to your business and supply chain.
2. Practical advice and next steps
Uncover the practical and feasible steps every business can take to bolster their cyber security.
3. Resources to educate your employees
Most cyber-attacks originate from employees unknowingly downloading a malicious file in an email, or creating a weak password that’s easy for a hacker to guess. Your workforce provides an easy access ‘backdoor’ for hackers to enter your network and access your organisation’s private data.
Post COVID19, as remote working becomes a long-term solution, employees are even more vulnerable to cyber security attacks. We will provide a number of resources to educate your workforce, and shape a ‘cyber resilience culture' in your business.
