Between September 2020 and August 2021, 40% of the 777 cyber-attack incidents managed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) were aimed at the public sector including healthcare and local government. The disruption to public services and risk to public safety is a real and present danger and this upward trend shows no signs of abating.
The Government’s Cyber Security strategy is clear that mitigating against cyber threats is a top priority for public sector organisations. Yet, despite making progress in recent years, there remains a significant gap between where Government’s cyber resilience is now and where it needs to be.
With £2.6bn investment in cyber and legacy IT and £37.8m of additional funding to tackle cyber security challenges in local government, the business growth opportunities for providers with proven capabilities are significant.
You’ll also meet face-to-face with 200+ decision makers and influencers across the public sector, get to showcase how your solutions safeguard against cyber threats, and make important connections to win new business.
The Public Sector Cyber Security and Data Protection Summit 2023 on Tuesday 19 September at etc.venues St.Paul’s, London, is a timely opportunity to position Scotland alongside those driving the Cyber agenda in government.
