The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) provides an ‘Exercise in a Box’ online tool that can help businesses check how resilient they are to cyber attacks as well as practise their response in a safe environment.
The tool will give you some exercises that can be carried out in your own time as many times as you want. The exercises include:
-A ransomware attack delivered by phishing email;
-Mobile phone theft and response;
-Being attacked from an unknown Wi-Fi network;
-Insider threat leading to a data breach;
-Third party software compromise;
-Threatened leak of sensitive data;
-Home & remote working; and
-Managing a vulnerability disclosure.
Micro-exercises are also included, covering areas like use of passwords and identifying and reporting a suspected phishing email.
To use ‘Exercise in a Box’ you need to register for an account with NCSC, and you’ll be provided with a tailored report that helps you to identify what to do next and sets out where you can find helpful guidance.

With many families finding out where their child will be starting school this September, now is a good time for working parents to start planning childcare. The government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme can save them up to £2,000 a year per child – and this could be good news for employers as well as employees.
The government has published its Impact Assessment on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which indicates benefits to the economy of potentially up to £7.5 billion over the next decade.
