Cyber Security

Cyber Security

Cyber security encompasses the protection of devices, services, systems and networks – and the data on them – from cyber-attacks such as theft or damage. It aims to reduce the risk of cyber-attacks and protect against the unauthorised access of systems, networks and technologies.

Employers have a duty to protect their employees from receiving and circulating inappropriate, illegal and harmful material and can be held vicariously liable for the inappropriate actions of an employee – unless they can demonstrate that they have taken all reasonable steps to prevent it from taking place.
