The National Cyber Security Centre has launched a free online tool to help small businesses assess how resilient they are to cyberattacks.
The 'Exercise in a Box' tool provides exercises based on the main cyber threats and enables users to assess how they would respond to an attack.
It is completely free and you do not have to be an expert to use it.
