What are CyberScotland doing to support third sector
SCVO have appointed a Cyber Resilience Co-ordinator, who will work closely with Scottish Government through the CyberScotland partnership, to help coordinate implementation of the action plan across Scotland’s voluntary sector to support them in becoming more cyber resilient. They will be guided by a Third Sector Cyber Resilience Working Group, made up of a range of people from across the sector, who will help shape the development of the work programme to ensure it is impactful and relevant. As these themes develop this page will be updated with new initiatives and opportunities.
