New UK cybersecurity training scheme prepares for hackers

With hackers attacking almost every government body, institution and business, organisations have to do more than hide behind technology — they have to invest in people too, from the server room to the boardroom. That’s the message from cybX, a new cybersecurity training scheme in North Yorkshire.

Cybx is a simulator for an organisation’s technical staff to run through mock cyber attacks — a sort of boot camp for those in the front line of cybersecurity. cybX begins its first mini training exercise next week, and full courses start at the beginning of August.
