Top 5 security improvements to protect against public sector cybercrime

Sebastian Tyc of IT firm Firstserv has emphasised the importance of managed services and secure cloud hosting to combat public sector cybercrime. In particular, he noted how a lack of digital skills and cyber awareness increased cyber risk. Through a case study of an NHS Trust which suffered a cyber attack, Tyc highlighted the need for expert support systems, cloud-based security, network redundancy, access management and 24/7 monitoring to maintain a robust defence against cybercrime.
