Last year Redscan Cyber Security published a report on breaches of
councils’ cyber security highlighting the following statistics:

700

attacks or data breaches were reported to the ICO from UK Councils

10

UK councils suffered significant breach or suffered ransomware attacks

50%

of council staff don’t receive any form of cyber security training.

£10m

Average cost of recovery, with councils expected to pay 64% out of their own pocket.

Following best practice is no longer a secure defence

The National Cyber Security Guidance is there to limit the damage when a breach occurs. Councils are becoming easy targets, and a new approach of cyber security is needed. Which is why we are offering a shared service of best of breed technology and a world class team with the skills and experience to ensure that the sector always has the best available protection.

MALWARE & RANSOMWARE

There are lots of ransomware and other malware variants in the cyber-realm. So many, that Traditional Anti-Virus (AV) and Endpoint Detection Response (EDR/XDR) systems only deal with seen-before and well-known variants. However these legacy systems are no longer enough to combat the increasing sophistication and volume of attacks. The changes in the cyber landscape mean the risk of a breach in security has increased significantly and a new approach is required to quickly plug the gap before it is too late.
