Volunteers are an integral part of the Cyber 360 process and there are several benefits of taking part.
What are cyber 360s?
Last year we launched the Cyber 360 programme, which aims to support councils as they work to reduce cyber risk, by encouraging a whole-council approach to Cyber Security. They involve a multi-disciplinary team of council peers and external experts spending two or three days with a council, offering advice and support, and following up with a reflective report.
Why should I volunteer?
Volunteers are an integral part of the Cyber 360 process. They conduct the insightful conversations which enable us to see the strengths and improvements of each council.
There are several benefits of volunteering, which include:
- Sharing your expertise and knowledge
- Learning best practise from other councils and keeping up to date with current threats that councils are facing
- Earn CPD points to meet the mandatory annual requirements of CISSP and CISM
To take full advantage of the Cyber 360 offer, we recommend that officers also take part in volunteering. Volunteering gives you the hands-on experience of a Cyber 360 and allows you to see how it can benefit your own council.
Testimonials
Take a look at what some of our previous volunteers had to say:
I would recommend other officers to volunteer for this programme to better understand cyber security culture and the issues and challenges councils are facing.
A deeper dive into the risk regime of a council. A better understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented at the local level. An appreciation of the differing approaches both within and across councils.
