Adult Social Care providers are being invited to take advantage of new cyber security resources designed to raise awareness of the threat of ransomware.
The new information packs have been made available on the NHS Digital website as part of the existing Keep I.T. Confidential online cyber security awareness toolkit.
Two sets of campaign materials have been published; one aimed at staff based in clinical settings and another for those who work in Adult Social Care.
The free materials have been designed to help providers run their own cyber security awareness campaigns at a time and in a way that suits them.
The aim is to help improve staff knowledge of cyber security concerns such as phishing, unauthorised data sharing, unlocked screens and weak passwords.
Resources in the toolkit include:
- Screensavers
- Digital banners
- Sticky notes
- Social media graphics – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn
- An animation
