The ECRC’s Community Ambassadors program is a series of partnerships with companies operating in the cyber space. These are likeminded, locally operating businesses, who recognise the importance of cyber resilience and whose aims and ethos align with ours.

DVANA Security are one of the ECRC’s valued Community Ambassadors, who share our passion in making cybersecurity an essential consideration for small businesses. They believe that cybersecurity is of paramount importance for organisations of all sizes, including micro-businesses, and that it is not something that can be ignored in today’s dynamic digital landscape.

As part of DVANA’s commitment to small businesses, they believe in making cybersecurity as accessible as possible. Cybersecurity is a risk often overlooked by smaller companies, seen as a necessary evil. To address this, DVANA serve as a navigator, providing personalized training alongside flexible cybersecurity packages that is tailored to the needs of the company. This helps to simplify the process of becoming cyber secure and makes the subject less daunting for smaller companies.

Dr Katherine Bean, the Managing Director of DVANA, commented:

'We are primarily interested in helping business to grow, we think that should be done in a sustainable matter. Utilizing the wider definition of sustainable. As part of that, we see Cybersecurity to be a key driver of growth. Keeping systems safe, users informed and suppliers confident that they are doing business with a reputable organization is key to that growth goal.'
