A cyber incident review is a process or analysis undertaken after a cyber security incident or cyber attack has occurred.  It involves analysing the event in detail to understand what happened, why it happened and how it can be prevented in the future.

We have previously written about the Cyber Resilience Centres which are 9 regional centres in the UK which were part of a Home Office initiative to help strengthen the reach of cyber resilience across the community.
We recently met with Daniel Sykes, the Cyber Crime Protect and Prepare Office for the South East Cyber Resilience Centre, to ask
about how their services can help small businesses, schools and multi academy trusts.

While visiting organisations during our data walks we will have a conversation with you about how printers are used in your organisation, we will discuss access controls and have a look around the print area and any recycling facilities.  Printing can be expensive as the cost of paper and toner has risen, but it can also be costly to your cyber resilience and your data breach security.

During February there have been a number of attacks reported on Universities in the UK.  There were reports of hackers attacking the universities of Cambridge, Manchester and Wolverhampton.  Systems were affected at all sites.  The disruption is the latest reported attack by Anonymous Sudan.  It is thought the attacks are related to the UK's support of Israel in the Gaza conflict.
