Welcome to the SME Cyber Security Resilience Project

This project is an ongoing initiative that is dedicated to strengthening the digital security posture of small and medium enterprises. It aims to mitigate an extensive problem by creating practical, affordable, and implementable security solutions specifically designed for SME environments. Cyber security resilience should not be a luxury - it should be accessible to organisations of all sizes.


The digital threat landscape is complex and SMEs face critical challenges: the same sophisticated cyber threats that target large enterprises, but with a fraction of the resources to defend against them. This gap represents not just a risk to individual businesses, but to broader economic ecosystems.

This project needs collaborators from diverse backgrounds to help shape this initiative:

  • Cyber security professionals who can help translate enterprise security frameworks into SME-friendly approaches

  • Small business owners and managers who understand the day-to-day operational realities of running an SME

  • Industry associations that can help us reach businesses in need

  • Technology providers interested in serving the SME market more effectively

  • Academic researchers working on cost-effective security solutions

  1. Increase cyber security resilience across small and medium enterprises that typically lack dedicated security resources
