Cyber resilience for SMEs: Managing risk and unlocking the value of cyber insurance

About the event

In today’s digital economy, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face the same cyber threats as large corporations—but often without the same resources or protections. A single incident, such as ransomware or data theft, can disrupt operations, damage reputation, and drain finances. This one-hour masterclass, organised in collaboration with Matrix Internet, helps SME leaders understand how to assess, manage, and transfer cyber risk effectively, with a special focus on the evolving role of cyber insurance in protecting business continuity.

This interactive session blends practical guidance with expert insight. Participants will:

  • Learn how cyber risk affects SMEs and how to identify their biggest vulnerabilities.
  • Explore effective risk management strategies, from prevention to incident response.
  • Understand how cyber insurance works—what it covers, what it doesn’t, and how to choose the right policy for their needs.

This session is a benefit reserved for members of the European DIGITAL SME Alliance.
External participants can join for a fee of €150 (excluding VAT).
