Where can I get more information?
This guide takes a bottom-up approach at a non-technical level in order to raise awareness and provide basic practical advice for reducing the risks associated with a cyber attack. It does not constitute nor replace the need for a comprehensive approach to cyber security. It is intended to fit within a company’s cyber security organisation. Nothing in this document removes the need for suitable corporate oversight of cyber security nor does it replace any corporate policy.
