Transfer Centre for Cybersecurity in SMEs
Cybersecurity for SMEs
Start: 07/2023
End: 06/2027

The Transfer Centre for Cybersecurity in SMEs supports small and medium-sized enterprises, craft businesses and start-ups free of charge in preventing, detecting and responding to cyberattacks.
Via information and qualification formats, numerous events throughout Germany, a detection and response platform for cyberattacks and a broad network of partners, we want to level up cybersecurity in SMEs, thus increasing the resilience of German SMEs.
Role of the FZI
With the expertise gained in previous projects – such as the Cyberwehr Baden-Württemberg – the FZI, as a specialist partner, is developing target group-oriented information content and is building up an emergency aid platform for IT security incidents.

It is intended to help companies better prepare for the threats to IT security. Companies shall also be enabled to react in the best possible way in case of an emergency and to find the necessary support to keep damage to a minimum.
