Cyber Security

Cyber security has always been important, particularly with so much work being done remotely or via mobile devices where security may not be at the forefront. While the webinar portion for the Cyber Security webinar should be available next week, here are some resources you may find useful:
- https://haveibeenpwned.com/ : Check if any of your passwords have been compromised
- https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-61/rev-2/final: Free pdf from the Computer Security Resource centre titled Computer Security Incident Handling Guide.
An increasing number of clients have taken an interest in cyber risk of their contractors. Contractors who do not have comprehensive cyber security protocols may be overlooked or required to implement further precautions prior to performing work.
