College Plays its Part to Promote Cyber Security

The South of Scotland Digital Skills Hub joins with stakeholders to promote online business safety.

Dumfries and Galloway College will host this South of Scotland Digital Skills Hub event: Keeping Your Business Safe Online, as part of Cyber Scotland Week 2022.

Held virtually, this event will help businesses learn how to manage cyber security threats through dialogue with business professionals, who have already taken steps to protect their companies from cyber crime, and thought-leaders in the sector.

The Keeping Your Business Safe Online will be held in partnership by the South of Scotland Digital Skills Hub, South of Scotland Enterprise, and Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

“Cyber security, and taking on the threats against it, are incredibly important to businesses and stakeholders across our region and I’m proud that our college is doing our bit in this vital area.

“Keeping Your Business Safe Online will be a crucial event for many of us and will help us learn how to keep safe and continue to keep ourselves and our business safe from cyber attack.
