<p>The Government takes the threat of cyber crime against small and medium-sized businesses
very seriously. This is why the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) was established
to provide a single, central authority on cyber security at the national level. The
NCSC has created the small business guide to help small businesses protect themselves
from the most common cyber attacks.</p><p>The Government continues to invest in the
law enforcement response to cyber crime, over £200 million since 2010. This includes
investment in the Protect network so in all 43 force areas there is someone dedicated
to helping businesses and individuals protect themselves from cyber crime. The network
is coordinated by Law Enforcement at the national level, working with NCSC, to ensure
their advice is based on the latest understanding of the threat.</p><p>Through the
Government’s Cyber Aware programme we have also provided the public and small businesses
with the latest advice on how to take simple steps that will protect them and their
personal information from cyber crime.</p>
