Preparing for Cybersecurity Threats
Indiana’s small businesses need to be prepared for intensifying cybersecurity threats. With funding provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation is providing no-cost trainings, assessments, and one-on-one assistance that small businesses can utilize to protect themselves.
These resources will aid Indiana’s small businesses in putting important cybersecurity defenses in place to grow their businesses confidently and safely.
The IEDC offers free cybersecurity guides and toolkits through the Indiana Small Business Development Center.
This program is open to all for-profit small buinesses with under 500 employees.
CMMC is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. This is a program by the US Department of Defence (DoD) aimed at improving cybersecurity througout its supply chain. The DoD is beginning to require companies to obtain CMMC certification to be competitive for their contracting opportunities.
If you are hoping to contract with the DoD or want to achieve a higher-than-normal cybersecurity standard, then CMMC Level 1 assessment is applicable to you.
The IEDC cybersecurity program will operate until August 2025 or until the funding runs out.
Funded through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration
