Cyber Strategy for Small Organisations

CyberScotland partner Cyber and Fraud Centre – Scotland has released a new cyber strategy guide for small organisations.

A comprehensive cyber security strategy is crucial to protect organisations, individuals, and governments from devastating cyber attacks. This guide is designed to aid small organisations in developing their cyber strategy, regardless of their current posture, by providing concise guidance and additional information through links. The guide can be used as a checklist tool for prioritisation, with short-term actions providing immediate protection against opportunistic attacks, medium-term actions protecting against more targeted attacks, and long-term actions involving outside audits and certifications.
