The shift to remote working has created a more complex security landscape that calls on organisations of all sizes to take action now to build up their resilience to cyber-attacks.
This one-day event will help you do just that by learning about and using a new cyber range training platform. Join this live event to:
- Find out about your options for building competencies in your company.
- Understand how you can train your staff in cybersecurity on a limited budget.
- Learn first-hand how you can step up your company’s cybersecurity skills in the era of remote working.
But it doesn’t stop here. You’ll also hear from top cybersecurity experts zooming in on the state of the art, best practices and opportunities for capacity building based on the emerging needs of SMEs and other organisations dependent on IT and networks.
Panellists will give insights on filling the skills gap with the European Cybersecurity Competence Centres, practical tools and services. The second part of the event is a close-up the CYBERWISER.eu training platform, where SMEs and others can get special access to train their employees with customised learning paths based on specific needs and skill sets.
