Operation Configured

A Police Cyber Protect Initiative

The Police Cyber Protect team within the South-East Regional Organised Crime Unit (SEROCU) are working with industry, academia and other law enforcement partners in developing a free, innovative and pro-active network vulnerability notification service under Operation Configured.

Operation Configured is a programme that identifies those organisations within the region, that online research indicates have one or more known cyber vulnerabilities or otherwise at risk of being exploited and notifying those organisations so that they can mitigate the risk prior to potential cyber-attacks. The purpose of Operation Configured is to prevent cyber-criminals from having sufficient opportunity to exploit these vulnerabilities, thereby reducing the likelihood of an cyber-attack or the impact of one.

The South-East region involved in this pilot phase is Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex, East Sussex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. However, due to lack of information in the open source data to accurately establish the geographic location of organisations on the internet, it is possible those outside these counties may be contacted.

IMPORTANT: While SEROCU are notifying organisations of this vulnerability, Officers from the team will NOT be asking for any information or other details. They will only be providing information. Any unsolicited contact claiming to be from the Police should always be treated with caution. For more information read about Verifying Authenticity.
