    Organisations large and small experience attacks every day, from simple phishing emails to intricate, detailed operations masterminded by criminal gangs, and for every vulnerability fixed, another pops up, ripe for exploitation.
    Cyber security doesn't have to cost vast amounts of money or take a short ice age to implement. No matter the size of your organisation, improving cyber security helps protect your data and that of your clients, improving business relations and opening the door to new opportunities.
    This pocket guide will take you through the essentials of cyber security – the principles that underpin it, vulnerabilities and threats and the attackers who use them, and how to defend against them – so you can confidently develop a cyber security programme.
    Cyber Security – Essential principles to secure your organisation:
    
    - Covers the key differences between cyber and information security;
    - Explains how cyber security is increasingly mandatory and how this ties into data protection, e.g. the Data Protection Act 2018 and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation);
    - Focuses on the nature of the problem, looking at technical, physical and human threats and vulnerabilities;
    - Explores the importance of security by design;
    - Gives guidance on why security should be balanced and centralised; and
