The Cyber Protect network exists across the UK and provides FREE cyber awareness training sessions to organisations including business, education, public services, local government and the charitable sector*.
We can deliver these sessions in person, if you can provide a suitable venue, or virtually. For virtual presentations, the limit for MS Teams sessions is 250 attendees, for Zoom it is 500 attendees. The presentation is delivered by fully trained Police Officers and Police Staff from the Cybercrime Unit – for FREE.
Training Sessions for Organisations
Staff
Our cyber awareness sessions are approximately 1.5 hours (including questions). From experience, your staff are more likely to learn by engaging them for the benefit of their personal lives, achieving behaviour change and then bringing that benefit back to the workplace. As such, we pitch our sessions for their personal life, with explanation of their role in cyber security at work. These sessions are for an everyday user, avoiding jargon where we can and avoiding technical complexity. We cover:
- Current Cyber Threats
- The motivation of cyber criminals
- Data Breaches
- Phishing
- Securing accounts – passwords and 2FA
- Improving our privacy online
- Securing devices
- Response Planning
- Cyber Drills
- Further learning
Leadership

- Current Cyber Threats & Trends

- Detecting Suspicious Events
- The importance of 2FA

* Audiences: While we would like to be in a position to support all organisations, our team is small and therefore we have to limit our proactive services for businesses to micro-, small- and some medium-enterprises. For medium sized enterprises, availability will depend on turnover and your ability to procure these services privately. Any victim of cybercrime, regardless of size, who reports the incident to Action Fraud is eligible for some Cyber Protect services.
DECISIONS & DISRUPTIONS TABLETOP EXERCISE
We offer a boardroom exercise to emphasise the need for all aspects of cyber security. This unique table top exercise is designed to explore the decisions that people make in order to protect their businesses from modern day threats, such as hacking and malware attacks, in addition to physical security and crime prevention. It was developed by Lancaster University and can be found at www.decisions-disruptions.org. The Police version of the exercise has been modified based on the real-world attacks we see in our cybercrime unit.
This exercise is targeted towards senior decision makers within companies, but it can also be of benefit to other staff with varying levels of technical knowledge. It creates an immersive experience in which participants have to use their problem solving, collaboration, leadership and communication skills.
The exercise takes approximately 1.5 hours including post-exercise debrief and learning. The target audience is senior leaders and decision makers. The game works best with 5-9 players. We can run up to 9 games simultaneously, stretching to 10 players per game, for a maximum capacity of 90 attendees.
This exercise is FREE and available to the same audiences as our presentations.
