This is a weekly round-up of the articles from Smart Thinking Solutions, our specialist cybersecurity, governance and compliance web site.
The articles are mostly quick reads to give you an overview of the cybersecurity threat landscape facing businesses today, with links to the sources. Many of the posts have action points or top tips to help you navigate these threats to your organisations.

I believe Kamila has added a few extra “early bird free tickets” to the event as an incentive for you to get involved. Here is a link to the information and booking page on Eventbrite:
90 days cybersecurity – from planning to action. The real building blocks.
