This isn’t rare:
Hackers don’t care how big you are they care how easy you are to breach. And small businesses are the easiest target.
The good news? Cyber security doesn’t just protect you. It helps you win business.
Larger clients, supply chains, and government contracts increasingly require suppliers to prove Cyber Essentials certification. Without it, you may never even make the shortlist. With it, you show you are safe, reliable, and credible.
This bootcamp gives you:

By taking this Skills Bootcamp you’ll raise your defences enough that hackers move on to someone else.
Funded places are limited, and once they’re gone, you’ll be left exposed.
