Geiger cybersecurity counter

Abstract

It is not only big businesses that need to prepare for the threat of cybercrimes. SMEs, which form the backbone of Europe’s economy, also need to boost their cybersecurity. SMEs’ dependency on information technologies and the internet has opened the door to vulnerabilities to cybercrime. The EU-funded GEIGER project will develop an innovative solution for SMEs and microenterprises in Europe. It will make it easier for even the smallest business to assess, monitor and forecast risks and to reduce them. For instance, a special toolbox will allow stepwise do-it-yourself assessment and improvement of security, privacy and data protection with lightweight controls and advice for improved overall protection.
