Cyber security training package for small businesses

Small businesses have access to a free e-learning package that will boost their ability to defend against threats posed by cyber criminals. The training, Cyber Security for Small Organisations and Charities, guides businesses through the actions they should take in order to dramatically reduce the risk of the most common cyber-attacks, such as ransomware and phishing.

The advice, which is also suitable for sole traders and the voluntary sector, empowers small organisations to identify any possible weaknesses in their online infrastructure and act to strengthen them, focusing on five areas:

• Backing up an organisation’s data correctly.
• Protecting an organisation against malware.
• Keeping the devices used by employees secure.
• The importance of creating strong passwords.
• Defending an organisation against phishing.
