Welcome to the CyCOS Project

Enhancing Cyber Resilience of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises through Cyber Security Communities of Support

 

What's the problem?

 

  • Half of small businesses experienced a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months

 

  • Many lack attention to key areas of security and are unaware of available resources

 

What are we doing to help?

 

Bringing SMEs together with cyber experts in a free, community-based approach
