CAF Support is helping 52 councils accelerate their cyber resilience improvements. We have now published our first practical resources, focused on CAF Objective A: Managing security risk, to help councils strengthen their cyber resilience.

We’re inviting English councils to express their interest in taking part in a funded red team exercise to strengthen cyber resilience across the local government sector.

This blog shares what is helping CAF Support councils to make progress and sets out practical steps that your council can take across four high impact areas.

Building a clearer picture of the technology used across local government will help us understand common challenges, identify opportunities and target support more effectively. To do this, we are running a test-and-learn pilot to collect information about the systems your council uses.

We have launched a £6 million CAF Support Fund for 52 councils that have completed a CAF assessment, helping them accelerate improvements in key areas of cyber resilience and strengthen resilience across the sector.
