CyberScotland Week returns 23-28 February 2026
CyberScotland Week returns for its eighth year from 23 to 28 February 2026 and organisations, businesses and community groups across Scotland can get involved by hosting an event or activity. The week brings people and sectors together to share knowledge, strengthen resilience and celebrate innovation in cyber security.
“Can’t Hack it?!”
The 2026 theme continues last year’s focus on “Can’t Hack it?!”, highlighting how everyone in Scotland can take simple, practical steps to stay safer online. From individuals and families to small businesses and large organisations, the message is clear: improving cyber resilience does not have to be complicated, but it does require awareness and action.
