Purpose and Scope
In today's COVID-19 times, working from home ensures the safety and well-being of a company’s workforce and clients. Telework will go on for an indefinite period and could even become the new standard for companies
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many small and medium enterprise (SME) to implement a quick transition to a more digitalised workflow. This rapid and, in many cases, involuntary modernisation of small and medium companies obviously carries with it many cybersecurity risks.
It is therefore fundamental for SMEs to increase their knowledge of the cybersecurity area, as their unpreparedness can easily lead to the exposure of sensitive information on the internet and the loss of critical assets, also causing brand damage.
This webinar, held on 23 July 2020 at 11:00 CEST will feature European experts in digital security coming from SME associations, cybersecurity clusters and EC-funded projects.
