SME Cybersecurity guide launch at MWC Barcelona

John Higgins represented Global Digital Foundation and AI Assurance Club at the recent launch of the SME cybersecurity guide 2025 at MWC Barcelona, developed with the support of Huawei Technologies. The guide outlines the particular risks faced by SMEs and the steps they can take to mitigate those risks.

Two-thirds of European jobs are in small or medium sized businesses and organisations (SMEs). European SMEs are under immense pressure to be globally competitive, serve their customers, win new business and improve their efficiency. They are increasingly turning to algorithms, smart devices, artificial intelligence, industrial robots, and drones to augment traditional IT. Unfortunately, this opens up yet new potential vulnerabilities and risks for SMEs too.

Diligent leaders and managers of SMEs need to know where to turn for good advice and reliable information they can trust. This second edition of the SME Cybersecurity Guide is just such a place. It’s comprehensive and up-to-date and at the same time usable and accessible. It should be in every SME leader’s reading list.
