Let IT Be: Cybersecurity and Small Business Resilience

Cyberattacks are now a common part of business reality. Even a small company can become a target for hackers: a blocked website, hacked accounts, or data leaks can paralyze operations and cost client trust.

 

On October 28, 2025, Let IT Be: Cybersecurity and Resilience for Small Businesses will take place in Kyiv – an event that will help entrepreneurs understand how to protect their business in the new reality, how to act in case of an incident, and what government tools can help improve cybersecurity resilience.

 

We invite owners of small and medium-sized businesses, IT or operations managers, HR and internal security managers, and representatives of business associations to attend the event.
