Hands-On Cybersecurity Training Series on Building Cybersecurity Awareness and Defense Foundations for SMEs
This three-part webinar series provides practical, hands-on training to strengthen the cybersecurity capabilities of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). Through nine targeted modules delivered by experts from the NERO consortium, participants will explore essential topics ranging from cybersecurity fundamentals and threat handling to advanced defense mechanisms, privacy protection, and gamified learning. Each 90-minute session combines concise presentations, real-world demonstrations, and interactive discussions to help SMEs enhance their resilience against evolving cyber threats.
This series acts as the opening event in a three-part hands-on training series designed to empower SMEs through cyber resilience against evolving cyber threats, offering an opportunity for knowledge exchange.
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.
