Tayside councils have spent hundreds of thousands of pounds in improving online safety and cyber security research.
Between January and November 2020, Dundee City Council spent £88,488 on cyber security and cybercrime prevention.
This includes £13,300 on firewalls, £10.861 on antivirus software, £21,333 on internet filtering, £25,494 on email filtering, and £17,500 on cyber support.
With the majority of council staff now working from home because of the coronavirus outbreak, the council says it is important it is doing everything it can to prevent cybercrime attacks.
