Back to Basics – The Collection IV

As 2024 draws to a close and we all start making plans for the holiday season, I thought it would be a good idea to publish an updated list of all my Back to Basics cyber security primers as this week’s Wednesday Bit.

These are easy read short series designed to get managers, owner managers, senior staff and board members up to speed with the most important cyber security threats and risks to their organisations.

They are not always a “how to” guide but will enable you to start asking the right questions to improve your organisation’s cyber security.

Experience has told me that many of these series do not finish but are being constantly updated as the threat landscape changes. A search of Smart Thinking for “Collection” will always bring you the most up to date listings.
