A Cyber Resilience Strategy for Scotland: Public Sector Action Plan 2017/18 was developed by the Scottish government and the National Cyber Resilience Leaders Board (NCRLB) to enhance the cyber resilience of digital public services in Scotland.
According to the action plan, Scottish public-sector bodies and their key partners will need to improve cyber security and promote cyber resilience by the end of 2018.
This will include implementing cyber risk governance arrangements, adopting effective cyber incident response plans and having appropriate cyber resilience training.
Action plans for private and third sectors will also be developed, and organisations from these sectors will be encouraged to align these action plans.
