Building cyber resilience involves securing your digital information assets, but equally as important are the people and processes in place to protect your business. To this end, we begin with an examination of social engineering and explain how people can be manipulated into making your systems vulnerable to malicious attack.


City of London Police Commander Chris Greany, the Police National Coordinator for Economic Crime and newly appointed Chair of Get Safe Online, describes how ever closer collaboration between law enforcement, government and the private sector is helping to prevent and tackle online fraud and cyber crime.


Recent events are the ‘wake up and smell the coffee’ moment for data protection to be prioritised on the boardroom agenda, according to former City of London Police Commissioner, Adrian Leppard QPM.


We include an examination of the Investigatory Powers Bill, intended to replace the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act (DRIPA) in December, from Barrister Rebecca Dix. Mike Britnell provides guidance for SMEs in their quest for cyber resilience and Charlie Timblin from the Women’s Security Society discusses the issues around filling the cyber skills gap.


We examine security more broadly with the topic of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its benefits and risks for security. We include a case study on the integrated security platform in use at Canary Wharf and delve further with a feature on the integrated approach to security for critical national infrastructure. We also feature discussions on access control systems, including a feature on the advantages of electronic keys and an examination of the risks of access enabled by mobile devices, such as phones.


City Security magazine will be available at IFSEC and FIREX International on 21–23 June, Cyber Security Summit on 22 June and Insurance Fraud Europe on 30 June. We look forward to seeing you at these events.


We are pleased to let you know that our digital version is now available from our website across all platforms, including smartphones and tablets.
