Uptake of innovative cybersecurity solutions for SMEs
This grant aims to develop and deploy a cyber toolkit as a service to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) manage cyber risks and implement their cybersecurity strategies. The toolkit may provide functionalities such as: interfaces with SaaS applications for cybersecurity, mapping and assessment of digital assets and vulnerabilities, risk assessment and mitigation recommendations, alerts on vulnerabilities and threats, incident reporting interfaces, and connections to CSIRTs or Cyber Hubs. Additional support can include a multilingual helpline, platforms for incident response coordination, and specialized training for first responders. The overarching goal is to improve industrial and market readiness for EU cybersecurity requirements and strengthen SMEs' cyber resilience.
