Organized by BBVA and Levante-EMV, the event underlines the need for training and awareness in businesses
The spread of the coronavirus accelerated the digital shift for small and medium-sized companies that were already on the rise. Digital tools like e-commerce, remote work, cloud computing, and advanced analytics help firms use resources more efficiently and boost profitability. Today, the focus is on strengthening cyber security processes to keep pace with this transition.
Threats persist. The bigger a business’s online footprint, the higher the risk. That’s why digital transformation experts—dedicated to safeguarding company integrity—are essential, no matter the organization’s size. Raising awareness and offering practical training for SMEs are crucial steps toward preventing cyber attacks and learning how to respond effectively when they occur.
