What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed cyber security certification scheme. Designed to help organisations protect themselves against some of the most common cyber threats.
The certification focuses on five key technical controls designed to protect organisations from common internet-based attacks. These include firewalls, security configurations, update management, user control, and malware protection.
