Join us for the webinar “Cybersecurity for Startups: Strategic Protection in the Digital Age 2025” on Thursday, 12 June 2025, at 9:00 a.m. (GMT-5)/10:00 a.m. (AST). Hosted by the EU-LAC Digital Accelerator partners, Tecnalia Research & Innovation and Caribbean Export, this session will underscore cybersecurity as a strategic pillar for startups and small tech companies. We’ll examine why young ventures are prime targets for cybercriminals, review real-world attack cases, and unpack both economic and reputational fallout. You’ll learn how to identify your most critical digital assets, assess risks, and establish effective security policies—even on a limited budget.
Throughout the webinar, we’ll delve into today’s most relevant threats, including ransomware, social engineering, and vulnerabilities unique to early-stage companies. You’ll gain practical tools and strategies for protecting information, managing passwords, implementing backups, and securing cloud environments. We’ll also highlight the human factor, sharing guidance on team training, awareness-building, and incident response protocols tailored for startups.
