We are pleased to announce that as part of our focus on Cyber Security, IP6net has become Cyber Essentials certified. Cyber Essentials is a government-backed cyber security certification scheme that sets out a good baseline of cyber security suitable for all organisations in all sectors. The scheme addresses five key controls that, when implemented correctly, can help to prevent around 80% of cyber attacks.

In brief, Cyber Essentials is all about helping businesses address the basics of cyber security to prevent common attacks, like ransomware and data breaches. Any business can download the Cyber Essentials guidlines and start putting the recommended controls in place.
