The Cyber Resilience Centre for Wales (WCRC) and the Welsh Government have teamed up to launch a new, free initiative for the Welsh social care sector that offers organisations the chance to receive cyber security training.
Contributing £51 billion to the UK economy, the social care sector is experiencing an unprecedented surge in cyber-attacks as a high-value target for criminals, with ransomware as its biggest threat.
The Cyber Ninjas training scheme - which is being rolled out by the WCRC and delivered by Matobo Learning through its platform- provides funding for 2,500 social care training licenses in cyber security enabling staff in the sector free, direct access to this resource.
