Cyber Security Scotland – Supporting the Public Sector build secure services

In a technical area such as cyber security it is challenging to keep up to date in such a rapidly moving field. Being the “intelligent client” when procuring security goods or services is particularly demanding. Pubic bodies need to have confidence that good advice is being provided on what solutions are fit-for-purpose.

This is where Cyber Security Scotland can help.
