The UK Government has updated its guidance on how businesses can combat cyber threats. The Department for Business, Innovation & Skills’ “10 Steps to Cyber Security” booklet was first published in 2012 and the Government estimates that it is now used by around two thirds of FTSE350 companies.

The 10 steps remain the same, but they have been updated to include a number of the new cyber security schemes and services of the National Cyber Security Programme.

In addition, the Government has published a new paper, “Common Cyber Attacks: Reducing the Impact”. This paper describes what a common cyber-attack looks like and how attackers typically execute an attack.
