Tools available to help SMEs tackle cyber security issues



The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has announced several online tools for small organisations. The announcement comes alongside the latest phase of its Cyber Aware campaign, which is aiming to raise awareness of cyber security among the UK's small businesses, microbusinesses, other organisations, and sole traders.


Official statistics show that more than a third of small businesses suffered a cyber-attack last year, so the NCSC has urged them to make use of their 'Cyber Action Plan' and 'Check Your Cyber Security' tools.


The Cyber Action Plan can be completed online in a few minutes, and results in tailored advice for businesses on how they can improve their cyber security.


Check your Cyber Security – which is accessible via the Action Plan – can be used by any small organisation, and enables non-tech users to identify and fix cyber security issues within their businesses.


Cyber attacks can vary widely, from business email compromise to denial of service and ransomware attacks.
