Scotland’s business resilience organisation has changed its name to reflect a rising national threat from cyber crime and fraud.
The Scottish Business Resilience Centre (SBRC), the not-for-profit dedicated to helping educate and support Scottish organisations to avoid the fallout from cyber crime, will now be known as the Cyber and Fraud Centre - Scotland, as it extends its focus to also include financial fraud.
The new brand comes as cyber attacks and fraud are on the rise: latest figures from Police Scotland show the number of cyber crimes in 2021-22 was nearly double that of 2019-20, and fraud has increased 86% this decade.
