Cybersecurity is a business investment which will pay for itself over time
Why is cybersecurity important for businesses?
Digitalisation creates new opportunities for enterprises. However, there are also digital risks in the online environment. SMEs that do not invest in cybersecurity are easier targets for cyber attacks. By enhancing their cybersecurity, the risks posed by cyber attacks are significantly reduced, allowing SMEs to take fully advantage of digital transformation.
There are available resources such as cybersecurity toolkits for SMEs to improve their cybersecurity posture. For SMEs that have put in place good cybersecurity measures, they should get recognised by applying for the cybersecurity certification for organisations.
Cybersecurity toolkits for enterprises
The cybersecurity toolkits are developed by CSA and available to download for free. They provide information on cybersecurity issues and threats and provide guidance for SMEs to adopt cybersecurity measures to protect themselves. There are toolkits available for different job roles such as SME owner, employees and IT Teams. (Toolkits available for download via BizPortal)

The cybersecurity certification scheme is developed by CSA to recognise SMEs with good cybersecurity practices. The Cyber Essentials mark is for SMEs that are embarking on their cybersecurity journey. It aims to enable SMEs with limited IT and/or cybersecurity expertise and resources to prioritise the cybersecurity measures needed to safeguard their systems and operations from common cyber-attacks.
