Hands-On Cybersecurity Training Series on Advanced Threat Detection and Privacy Protection for SMEs
Training Session 2 — Advanced Threat Detection and Privacy Protection for SMEs
The second session focuses on deepening technical knowledge and practical defense mechanisms. It will explore network security, penetration testing, secure software development, and intrusion detection systems. The goal is to equip SMEs with concrete tools and skills to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats more effectively.
This training session is part of a three-part webinar series designed to empower Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) to strengthen their cyber resilience against evolving threats. Delivered by experts from the NERO consortium, the series features nine targeted modules covering key topics such as cybersecurity fundamentals, threat management, advanced defense mechanisms, privacy protection, and gamified learning. Each 90-minute session combines practical insights, real-world demonstrations, and interactive discussions—offering SMEs hands-on experience and valuable knowledge exchange to enhance their overall cybersecurity capabilities.
Who’s This For?
If you’re working in or with an SME—and especially if you're in healthcare, finance, or logistics—this training is for you.
Also welcome:
- Employees, managers, and developers (no cyber background needed)
- System administrators and network engineers
- Researchers and students
- Professionals in 5G, IoT, or cloud security
Got a different background? We’d still love to have you—just let us know in advance.
Why attend?
Because reading about a cyber threat is one thing. Responding to it in real time? That’s a whole different skillset. This session gives you the space to experiment, make mistakes, learn fast—and walk away with sharper instincts, better tools, and a clearer view of your role in keeping systems safe.
