Incident Response Part 2

In this episode the Incident Response & Threat Intelligence Manager at the Cyber and Fraud Centre, Mike Smith, speaks to Lyndsey Jackson, the Deputy Chief Executive from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Lyndsey details her experiences with a cyber hack, shares her learnings, and discusses the impact it had on the organisation.

In partnership with the Scottish Government and Police Scotland, the Cyber and Fraud Centre has launched the UK’s first cyber and fraud incident response helpline for the public, private and third-sector organisations across Scotland to help victims of cybercrime understand what support is immediately available to them and help them recover. Any organisation concerned about their IT security should call the line, and if they think there is criminal activity, please report the crime to Police Scotland by calling 101.

If you are concerned your organisation has been the victim of either a cyber or financial fraud attack please call this free helpline. Their team will provide expert guidance to help you resume operations. Organisations who are concerned about their security, in general, can also get in touch to confirm they have the right processes in place. The helpline is run by ourselves in collaboration with the Scottish Government and Police Scotland will also work with several trusted external companies around the country that can help in situations where an onsite expert is needed.
