A National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) was set up by the Government in October 2016 as a one-stop-shop to provide support and guidance on a wide range of cyber security matters. They publish weekly threat and vulnerability reports and also signpost to training and skills.
For London businesses, the London Digital Security Centre (LDSC) aims to secure and protect London's micro to medium size businesses against cyber risks and threats.
Some of the key resources for all businesses include:
