“The new Strategic Framework for a Cyber Resilient Scotland launched by the Deputy First Minister earlier this week, outlines Scotland’s intention to be a digitally secure and resilient nation. The CyberScotland Partnership will help drive forward this ambition.  As well as providing advice and guidance, improved coordination of skills opportunities, the Partnership will help to promote Scotland’s flourishing cyber security products and service industry. Greater awareness of the cyber risks leads to greater demand for solutions and our cyber security industry can produce innovative solutions and offer high quality employment.  

“The organisations involved in this partnership play leading roles in effectively delivering the new Strategic Framework.  A formal collaboration will further increase our effectiveness and reduce duplication of effort. The Partnership will further reinforce Scotland as a global leader in the battle against cybercrime and a champion for ensuring a secure online environment for all.” 

“The events of 2020 drove home the importance of remaining focused on cyber security.  The reliance on technology for work and socialising grew alongside a corresponding rise in cyberattacks. The SBRC has discussed the formation of a collaboration between the organisations involved in the CyberScotland Partnership for some time, as we have seen some confusion from the public about where to get the support they need. Together, we can improve awareness and share knowledge of cyber security threats around Scotland. The CyberScotland.com website is a seamless solution to ensure everyone can access the right information from the right source.”
