Boosting cybersecurity skills

Welcome to the fourth edition of our project newsletter!

Did you know that 88% of data breaches involved the human element? (Source)

As cybersecurity threats continue to grow, it is more crucial than ever to equip everyone with the knowledge and skills to protect their digital environments.

Over the past four months, we conducted our pilot training sessions. We have received positive and valuable constructive feedback – thank you, if you were one of the participants! With feedback in hand, we can tweak and shape the future of our training programmes. Stay tuned for upcoming developments!

And we have more good news: CYRUS has successfully passed its mid-term review with positive feedback during the review. That is great, because people from outside the project have a neutral perspective – so this milestone reflects the project’s progress in developing and delivering cybersecurity trainings for employees at all levels.

In this newsletter you will get to know our two new project partners as well as where you can meet us in person to discuss the insights we gained in the first two years of the project.

Happy reading!
