We\u2019re proud to announce CyberSmart<\/a> has been nominated in the UK Innovative Vendor of the Year category at the 2020 CompTIA UK Spotlight Awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love an awards ceremony? The sense of camaraderie with the other nominees. The tension. And the chance to celebrate this year\u2019s greatest innovations in a room full of like-minded people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So we\u2019re delighted to have been invited to the 2020 Comp TIA<\/a> Awards. <\/span>CompTIA is a global not-for-profit trade association, promoting excellence and standards within the tech industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s the award for?<\/h3>\n

The Innovative Vendor of the Year award is open to any tech business demonstrating innovation or an approach that has transformed their organisation, a client’s, or the wider industry. <\/span>For 2020, candidates who have shown leadership in their community or organisation during the COVID-19 crisis will be given special consideration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re particularly excited to be nominated in the innovation category. The COVID-19 crisis has brought the importance of good cyber hygiene into sharp focus. With many small businesses working remotely<\/a>, cyber threats are on the rise. And these conditions have made our mission to help SMEs better protect themselves more crucial than ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What does the future hold?<\/h3>\n

We started CyberSmart with the goal of innovating a much-neglected part of the UK economy: cybersecurity for SMEs. This nomination is confirmation that we\u2019re on the right track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But we won\u2019t stop here. We\u2019re determined to be a force for good in the world. We won\u2019t rest until good cyber hygiene is part of every SME’s daily routine \u2013 much like brushing your teeth or washing your hands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to thank our backers, everyone at CyberSmart who made this nomination possible and, of course, our customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you a start-up looking to improve cybersecurity but not sure where to begin? Start by getting\u00a0certified in Cyber Essentials<\/a>, the UK government scheme that covers all the fundamentals of cyber hygiene.<\/p>\n
