Cyber Security Training for the Public Sector 

Ensuring the Delivery of Public Services is Resilient to Cyber Attacks 

Overview

Most organisations rely upon suppliers to deliver products, systems, and services. Given the UK Government’s Cyber Security Strategy commits public sector organisations to be resilient to cyber-attacks no later than 2030, now is the time to ensure the robustness of your cyber security strategy. 

Our Advanced Cyber Security Training for the Public Sector course provides you with the essential techniques you need to protect your systems and service users’ personal data from ransomware and other cyber-attacks. Understand the nature of the risks, how to prevent attacks and minimise the impact and recover successfully if a breach does occur.  

Apply the knowledge you gain to raise standards, mitigate risks proactively and establish a culture of continuous improvement. Leave the day with a clear action plan to improve your organisation’s governance and oversight of cyber security. The emphasis throughout will be on a step-by-step approach that is pragmatic and cost-effective. 

Leave the day with a clear action plan to improve your supply chain security. Understand how to apply it successfully
