Cyber Essentials is a certification scheme backed by the UK government and developed by the National Cyber Security Centre in partnership with The IASME Consortium. It supports businesses to meet a baseline level of cyber security, helping protect them against a wide variety of common, internet-based cyber attacks. Cary Hendricks (Global Operations Director at ID Cyber Solutions) provides an overview of the Cyber Essentials standard and the scheme’s requirements, using demonstrations to show how the requirements can help protect against different types of attacks, and supporting you to reduce risk of cyber attacks. This is a recording of a session provided for free as part of CyberScotland Week 2024.
