Cyber crime is an increasing risk for social care providers. From phishing emails and data breaches to ransomware attacks, care organisations are being specifically targeted often because attackers assume systems are stretched, staff are busy and cyber training is limited.
The impact of a cyber incident can be serious, affecting:
Service user data and safety
Staff confidence and morale
Regulatory compliance
Your organisation’s reputation
To help care providers strengthen their cyber resilience, the Cyber Resilience Centre Network (CRC Network), in partnership with Care Providers Alliance and Care England, is delivering a free, three-part webinar series designed specifically for the care sector.
This support is fully funded, practical and accessible with no technical knowledge required.
This free, government-funded webinar series has been designed to make charity leaders aware of the fraud and cyber threats that face charities and highlight suitable controls to implement which will help to reduce the likelihood and impact of cybercrime.
