Learning Link Scotland is an active member of the Scottish Government’s third sector cyber catalyst network. In this role we are ambassadors for cyber education and support the Scottish Government in its delivery of its action plans which you can read here: https://www.gov.scot/publications/third-sector-action-plan-cyber-resilience-2018-20/.
There are three networks – a private, public and third sector one. Here are all the third sector cyber catalyst organisations:
Launch of the Strategic Framework for a Cyber Resilient Scotland
On 22nd February 20221, the Deputy First Minister launched The Strategic Framework for a Cyber Resilient Scotland, setting out a vision of a Scotland that thrives by being a digitally secure and resilient nation. You can read the strategy here
The Framework has four outcomes:
1. People recognise the cyber risks and are well-prepared to manage them
2. Businesses and organisations recognise the cyber risks and are well-prepared to manage them
3. Digital public services are secure and cyber resilient
4. National cyber incident response arrangements are effective.
The Framework will be delivered collaboratively and using a whole-of-government approach, strengthening the place of cyber resilience across multiple policy areas. Four action plans, relating to the public, private and third sectors, and to learning and skills, will drive activity during 2021-23.
The Framework will link to our work on digital more widely, including the forthcoming Digital Strategy, and our ambitions for growing the digital economy. It aligns with the UK strategy, and we will continue to work with the UK Government and the National Cyber Security Centre, to deliver a cyber resilient Scotland.
