What is CYSSME?

Cybersecurity for Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Exalens is part of a consortium of innovative companies dedicated to enhancing cybersecurity for MSMEs. Recognizing the growing threats faced by smaller businesses, CYSSME brings together expertise from diverse sectors to develop tailored, accessible, and effective solutions for protecting these organizations.

Through its collaborative efforts, CYSSME aims to address this gap by providing resources, training, and cutting-edge tools designed specifically for MSMEs.

Why is Cybersecurity Essential for MSMEs?

Cybersecurity is particularly critical for MSMEs as they are increasingly targeted by cyber threats such as data breaches, ransomware, and phishing attacks.

Why is it Free?

This project has been funded by the European Union’s Digital Europe programme under Grant Agreement 101128101, and is supported by the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre. This funding allows us to provide free cybersecurity audits to SMEs, as part of an EU initiative to improve cybersecurity across Europe. The aim is to help participating companies strengthen their security measures, while also creating a knowledge base that will be shared widely to help other SMEs reduce their vulnerability to cyber threats.
