Cyber Security
Cyber security in social care is not just an IT issue. When systems go down, staff cannot access records; when data is stolen, people in your care are at risk of harm. Recognising common threats and protecting your accounts and devices is part of keeping everyone safe.
In this module, we'll explore why the social care sector is a target, how to spot common threats like phishing and ransomware, how to protect your accounts and devices in day-to-day work, and what to do if something goes wrong.
