1). EC: European Commission incorporates CYSSME into its Digital Funding Program.

CYSSME has been granted a three-year mandate and a substantial subsidy package to aid in enhancing the cybersecurity of European.

ECSO contributes to European Sovereignty, Autonomy & strengthening Europe’s cyber-resilience. Given the key position of SMEs in the digital economy, the focus will be on their secure digital transformation.

3). RANSOMWARE: Former NCSC Chief Executive calls for ban on Ransomware payments. Writing in The Times, Ciaran Martin, the NCSCs first Chief Executive is advocating a total ban on Ransomware victims paying Cyber criminals, writing that a ban would go some way to putting a stop to the ever-increasing proliferation of Ransomware.

WHAT IS RANSOMWARE? Ransomware works on the same principal as Kidnapping and uses increasingly sophisticated encryption to hold a victim’s information at ransom, rendering it inaccessible until the attacker receives a payment.
