For Organizations

Astrid Eckert/ TUM

The Cybersecurity Polygon Program targets organizations that are specifically vulnerable to cyber attacks. This includes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), startups, non-profit organizations, or public institutions such as schools or hospitals. Such organizations often lack dedicated security departments and thus also lack advanced cybersecurity knowledge and skills. Since cybersecurity threats are ever-increasing with the rise of AI and other emerging technologies, there is a strong need for cybersecurity support for such organizations.

Why should you participate?

• Get exposed to the TUM talent pool
• Increase cybersecurity awareness and knowledge in your organization
• Obtain options to improve your organization’s cybersecurity posture with the latest security technologies and practices
