The Programme
The NI Cyber Security Centre (NICSC) exists to improve Northern Ireland’s ability to defend itself from the increasing number of cyber-attacks we see on a daily basis. We have developed this programme to help you improve your organisation’s resilience to this malicious cyber activity.
This free programme, commissioned by the NICSC, in conjunction with Local Government Civil Contingencies, is an opportunity for your organisation to gain access to professionals in cyber response, to assess your organisation’s level of preparedness and support to help you further
develop your cyber response capability.
The programme will be delivered by Business Consultancy Services and has been developed with the support and cyber security expertise from NICSC, Local Government Civil Contingencies Group and National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
