SBDC initiative to boost cybersecurity for small businesses
The first step to determine cybersecurity vulnerability is to take a free online assessment. This is meant to be educational and will also result in a risk assessment report. From there, you can choose which resources best meet your needs, including trainings, webinars, best practices or industry articles on small business cybersecurity.
“The ultimate goal is to arm small businesses with information, an assessment of their awareness and an action plan,” said Keith Brophy, the center’s director, in a press release. “The assessment tool is the starting point, but we’re hopeful that our webinars, in-person training and action plans will help protect Michigan small businesses against cyberattacks.”
Developed by the SBDC, this initiative is supported by the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. Grand Rapids-based Trivalent Group serves as the lead content producer for the assessment tool.
