10:00 - 11:00 | Embedding IT Resilience in Scotland's Public Sector With a rise in COVID-19 related scams over the last few months and cyber threats continuing to grow, it's more important than ever for public sector organisations to build resilient IT strategies that will protect their data. However, according to the IDC, only 50% of organisations have IT resilience measures in place, putting many at risk of disruption from malware, migration to the cloud and unexpected disaster events. So how can your public sector organisation build and maintain an effective strategy? And what challenges are hindering IT resilience maturity?
