South West Cyber Beat

Richard Andreae from SUPPORTAL UK who is an IASME certified provider of Cyber Essentials (CE) and Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) talks to Ross Brown from the South West Cyber Resilience Centre about the real benefits of becoming accredited in CE and CE+.
These accreditations are Government backed and show you your customers and your supply chain that you are doing as much as you can to keep their data which you hold secure. All of this is geared toward the micro and SME market.

Have you ever felt daunted by what password to use or when to change it.  How about how you store them securely. Should I use 2 factor/ multi factor authentication.  Well this Podcast is for you. Ross and Richard give you common sense solutions to these and more of your password conundrums and will turn you overnight into a password Ninja.
