In community policing, trust is paramount, especially when cybercrime leaves victims feeling isolated. It’s crucial to redefine the perception of the Police as a partner in the fight against cybercrime, particularly emphasising collaborative solutions to prevent SMEs from falling victim.
We offered strategies you can employ to provide your organisation with a robust defence against cyber threats, learn the importance of reporting cyber-attacks to law enforcement and get to understand better the benefits to us all of doing so. We also discovered how cybercrimes are investigated and all the wide-ranging support and assistance available to us that we should utilise when we need it most. All this while confidentiality is maintained so as to safeguard our businesses from unnecessary disclosure to competitors and customers.
