‘Vulnerable’ SMEs to get discount on Government-backed cyber security scheme

The Government is allocating £2.4 million to provide discounts on a Government-backed cyber security scheme. This financial support is specifically designed to assist vulnerable SMEs, with the initiative estimated to benefit around 6,000 businesses. By covering the cost of these discounts, the Government aims to enhance the cyber security posture of smaller enterprises that are most at risk, ensuring they can access essential protections through the official scheme to mitigate potential digital threats and vulnerabilities.
