Launch of the WEsecure Pilot Project

WETechAlliance has launched a new pilot program aimed at providing dedicated cyber security support to businesses, particularly those in emerging industries that require robust cyber security practices to build customer trust. This initiative is in collaboration with the University of Windsor and involves expert training and oversight from Sterling Information Technologies. The pilot program will span six months as the team evaluates its effectiveness and gathers feedback to ensure it meets the needs of clients before potentially expanding the offering across their wider portfolio.

The key features of the pilot program are designed to address various aspects of cyber security and include:

1. First Response Cyber Threat Training: This component prepares businesses to respond effectively to cyber threats, thereby enhancing their resilience against potential attacks.

2. EDR License (Endpoint Detection & Response): This service will provide crucial tools to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats on endpoints.

3. Contextual Risk Assessment: This aspect focuses on identifying risks that are unique to each business, allowing for tailored security solutions.

4. Emergency Preparedness: Businesses will undergo crisis simulations and scenario planning to prime their response strategies in the face of potential cyber incidents.

5. Security Operations Centre (SOC) as a Service: Participants will get six months of free access to a security operations center, which can enhance their monitoring and response capabilities.

6. Customized Risk Assessment Report & Guidelines: This includes a comprehensive risk prioritization, development of action plans, gap mitigation tasks, and updates for stakeholders to ensure everyone is informed about the risk posture and the measures being implemented.

The pilot program emphasizes WEtech’s commitment to supporting startup companies and other clients in navigating the complexities of cyber security. By working closely with clients to understand their specific needs, WEtech aims to deliver impactful, practical solutions designed to strengthen their overall security framework.

For existing WEtech clients interested in accessing this new program, they are encouraged to reach out to their business advisors for tailored information and guidance. On the other hand, businesses that are not yet affiliated with WEtech but are interested in obtaining similar cyber security support can learn more about the organization’s services and programs by visiting their website.

Overall, this pilot initiative represents a significant step towards helping businesses become more secure in a rapidly evolving digital landscape while building trust with customers through effective cyber practices. Through continuous adaptation and collaboration with industry experts, WETechAlliance aims to foster a safer cyber environment for businesses in their region.
