Cyber security is an issue that matters to all of us. No matter the size of your organisation, staying safe online is essential to being able to continue your work and support your local community. That’s why we’re working with NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre) to train our members to be able to support their networks to protect themselves from cyber threats.
