Cyber Attacks - Useful Documents

Cyber security is how individuals and organisations can reduce the risk of being victims of a cyberattack and being affected by cyber-crime.

The core function of cyber security is to protect the devices we use (smartphones, laptops, tablets and computers), and the services we access online - both at home and work - from theft or damage. It's also about preventing unauthorised access to the vast amounts of personal information we store on these devices and online.

In light of the recent cyber-attacks on the retail sector, attributed to the Scattered Spider threat actor, Police Scotland have shared documents that will likely be of use to you.
