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.

World Password Day occurs annually on the first Thursday of May. Every year the day offers an opportunity to reflect on our digital security and think about how safe we are keeping our data from cyber threats and unauthorised access. It offers a great chance to update your passwords and ensure they are strong and unique!
We would like to thank everyone who took the time to submit a proposal and for their interest in building cyber resilience capacity in Scotland.
We received a high volume of applications towards the funding call and the variety and quality of outline proposals received was very encouraging.
We have now selected 16 proposals which we will be funding as a result of this call and which we hope will create a varied and effective programme of cyber resilience awareness activities reaching out to the target groups.
Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted through email, by someone posing as a legitimate organisation to lure individuals and companies into providing sensitive data. A form of phishing is quishing, which uses QR codes to lure you to nefarious websites. As with any type of phishing, the best defence against quishing attacks is to be aware of the threat.
