The Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN) has been given a record high satisfaction score for 2021, with 98% of public sector respondents saying they are satisfied with the network compared to 94% in 2020.

Capita plc, in conjunction with the SWAN Innovation Forum, today announces it is proposing to roll out Internet of Things (IoT) capability across the Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN).

Capita has secured a three-year contract with major port group, PD Ports Ltd (PD Ports), to implement a managed security operations centre (SOC) and security information and event management cybersecurity solution.

This year’s survey of public sector workers using the Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN), administered by Capita, shows that 94% are satisfied overall, an improvement on last year’s 92% score.
