Welshpool firm backs Covid cybercrime fight
The ground-breaking initiative, called Cyberwatch, features a six-stage series of in-depth Q&A videos, filmed in a Dyfed-Powys Police interview room.
Cyberwatch helps firms to safeguard their operations and staff from cyber-criminals and can advise on how to keep remote workers cyber safe.
The company said that hackers are using the pandemic to trick victims into downloading booby-trapped documents to spread malware and ransomware, even among health centres and those who are trying to save lives.
It is reported that insurer, Beazley, has experienced a 25% spike in clients being hit by ransomware, compared to the same period last year.

Cyberwatch’s 5 Top Tips to safe and secure remote working
· Ensure you have a “remote working policy” in place to instruct users on the safe and secure practices
· Ensure you are using a credible VPN for users to connect into your company infrastructure
· Don’t assume your infrastructure is safe from cyber-attacks, just because you are not in the office – continue to monitor your networks
· Have a plan in place to react to any cyber-attacks which may occur while you don’t have onsite IT Security Support
· Test the plan to ensure that it is suitable for your business needs and adjust accordingly
