THE Scottish Business Resilience Centre has recruited graduates from the ethical hacking course at Abertay University to advise small businesses on how to combat cyber crime.

SBRC said it will be offering services ranging from assessing what information is available online about a company through to a full security test.

SBRC Director Mandy Haeburn-Little said: "The results from our ethical hackers are a real eye-opener. You think that you are being guarded and secure, but there is so much information available about your business that you cannot control - and, so much about individuals online."
