CyberSecurityAId is a pioneering project looking to revolutionise the cybersecurity landscape for small businesses in the United Kingdom. This transformative initiative is driven by a clear and compelling motivation: to address the critical cybersecurity needs of micro-businesses and sole traders, who collectively constitute over 95% of UK businesses. These small entities often struggle with limited resources and cybersecurity knowledge, making them vulnerable to cyber incidents. Traditional cybersecurity solutions and certifications, such as Cyber Essentials, are often out of reach for these small businesses.The core of our innovative solution lies in a dynamic self-assessment tool, powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This tool empowers micro-business managers and sole traders by providing them with accessible and actionable insights to strengthen their cyber hygiene practices. It simplifies the complex world of cybersecurity, offering personalised recommendations to safeguard their digital assets, systems and processes effectively.Our tool has the potential to benefit a significant number of micro-businesses and sole traders across various sectors while offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution. This project not only addresses a critical need in the market but also holds promise as a model for enhancing cybersecurity awareness and resilience among traditionally underserved sectors.

CyberSecurityAId是一个开创性的项目，旨在彻底改变英国小企业的网络安全格局。这一变革性的举措是由一个明确而令人信服的动机驱动的：解决微型企业和个体经营者的关键网络安全需求，这些企业占英国企业的95%以上。这些小型实体往往难以应对有限的资源和网络安全知识，因此容易受到网络事件的影响。传统的网络安全解决方案和认证（如Cyber Essentials）通常无法满足这些小型企业的需求。我们创新解决方案的核心在于由人工智能（AI）驱动的动态自我评估工具。该工具通过为微型企业经理和个体经营者提供可访问和可操作的见解来增强他们的网络卫生实践，从而增强他们的能力。它简化了复杂的网络安全世界，提供个性化的建议，以有效地保护他们的数字资产，系统和流程。我们的工具有可能使各个行业的大量微型企业和个体贸易商受益，同时提供具有成本效益和可持续的解决方案。该项目不仅满足了市场的关键需求，而且有望成为传统服务不足行业提高网络安全意识和恢复力的典范。
