We have previously written about the Cyber Resilience Centres which are 9 regional centres in the UK which were part of a Home Office initiative to help strengthen the reach of cyber resilience across the community.
We recently met with Daniel Sykes, the Cyber Crime Protect and Prepare Office for the South East Cyber Resilience Centre, to ask

While visiting organisations during our data walks we will have a conversation with you about how printers are used in your organisation, we will discuss access controls and have a look around the print area and any recycling facilities.  Printing can be expensive as the cost of paper and toner has risen, but it can also be costly to your cyber resilience and your data breach security.
