Derbyshire Constabulary Cyber Protect Officer

As the power of the internet continues to grow, more and more businesses are using online resources to reach customers through the use of websites and social media. Therefore, it is essential that businesses take steps to protect themselves from cybercriminals and other technical failures to prevent their reputation from being damaged, their systems from shutting down and reduction of profit. Derbyshire Constabulary has appointed myself as their Cyber Protect Officer. I will provide security advice to Small and Medium Enterprises throughout Derbyshire in order to prevent cyber attacks. One in five businesses were attacked and damaged last year because they did not protect themselves properly. Cybercriminals may choose to hack, send phishing emails, send spam, use ransomware, spyware and use DoS to infiltrate a business. To help you prevent these attacks, I can deliver presentations on understanding the risks of cyber crime, offer advice on helping you to plan a disaster recovery plan and review what you already have in place.
