ADS has been helping Government shape its advice on safer working environments and setting out its agenda for the relaunch and recovery of the economy.
On Thursday we will be joined by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) for our latest COVID-19 webinar. The NCSC will provide an overview of the cyber security risks facing businesses in the current COVID-19 context, as well as brief members on the wide range resources that are available on the NCSC website. The webinar will be particularly relevant to SMEs interested in protecting themselves in the new context of increased home-working, and a rapidly-evolving threat landscape.
This week the Government will review the current lockdown and we are expecting the beginning of a public discussion on the route to renewal and recovery. Any easement in the current arrangement may take a little longer and we will be updating the COVID-19 Hub to reflect any changes and updated information.
