Cybersecurity Start-up Mitigation

1.a. Description of the Module: “CYBERSECURITY –PROTECT YOUR START-UP”

Many, especially young people have a new innovative idea. They create an
innovative start-up which is finally starting to generate some business. Small in size
and usually not having enough resources and expertise of all kind, start-up has to
learn that, out of nowhere, they can have a major security breach. It may happen
that everything they have been pursuing and striving for will come to naught. Start-
up might think that small businesses are unlikely targets for cybercriminals but,
sadly, this is not the case. Each year, thousands of small companies are victims of
phishing, malware, hacking, and other types of cyberattacks.

Cyberattacks are on the rise, specifically targeting highly regulated industries like
healthcare, financial services and legal. Educating start-ups on cybersecurity, what
to watch for and how to detect attacks has never been more important. To help
them get started, the proposed training curriculum outlines learning objectives,
topics to cover and exercises to help keep start-ups safe from cybersecurity
attacks. It is critical that start-uppers understand the risks of cyberattacks, how to
combat cybersecurity at an organization-level and how to protect start-ups from
attacks.
