Black and Scot

We are thrilled to announce that we've had three successful events for the black history month including  - The event with Sky - The apprenticeship event  - Participating in the celebration of the Black History Month with St John's University York And as we come to the end of the Cybersecurity Awareness Month, remember that cybersecurity is an ongoing journey. Be alert at all times as the cybersecurity criminals are relentless. Understand how attackers exploit human behaviour through social engineering. Do not click on suspicious links, avoid phishing emails, and protect your connection by using a VPN on public Wi-Fi.
