THE END OF CISO in SMEs PROJECT

partners of the consortiumAfter two years of work, CISOinSMEs project comes to an end. During these two years all the consortium partners have worked hard to develop a quality product tailored to the needs of European SMEs.
As results of this work we have created a course in Information Security specifically targeted to workers in the SMEs, with online training, classroom training and an online platform. Also it is able to get certification of this course through the VCC platform, that certify skills acquired outside the formal education system.
