Read our privacy policy The UK's official cyber security agency have created a tool to practise being cyber attacked. The exercise focuses on three key areas, teaching staff how they can safely access networks from home, which services might be needed for secure collaboration and what processes need to be in place to manage a cyber attack remotely. The new online roleplay is the latest in the existing Exercise in a Box toolkit aimed at businesses wanting to test their cyber security. "I would urge business leaders to treat Exercise in a Box in the same way they do their regular fire drills - doing so will help reduce the chances of falling victim to future cyber attacks."
