									<p>On June 18-19, the vibrant city of Vilnius hosted the inaugural session of our cutting-edge course, &#8220;Cybercrime, Cyberthreats, and Cybersecurity.&#8221; Organized under the guidance of Project EAGLE, this intensive two-day training aimed to equip small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the essential knowledge and practical strategies needed to combat cyber threats and enhance their cyber resilience.</p>
<p><strong>Course Overview</strong></p>
<p>The training provided a comprehensive dive into the critical areas of cybersecurity management, focusing on both theoretical concepts and practical applications. Attendees were introduced to the foundational aspects of cybersecurity, including data privacy, cybercrime, and the evolving legal landscape surrounding these issues.</p>
<p>Participants engaged with the following core topics:</p>
<p><strong>1. Understanding Cyber Threats and Vulnerabilities</strong>: the course highlighted the latest trends in cyber threats, offering insights into the most common vulnerabilities and hybrid threats. Practical examples underscored the real-world relevance of these issues<strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Cybersecurity Responsibilities and Legal Liabilities</strong>: emphasis was placed on the legal environment governing cybersecurity and data privacy. Participants learned about the responsibilities and liabilities of employees and managers, and how to communicate effectively about cybersecurity within an organization<strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Organizational and Technical Security Measures</strong>: detailed discussions covered the importance of cyber hygiene, business continuity planning, and the creation of internal cybersecurity documents. The course also tackled the challenge of avoiding mere formal compliance by integrating meaningful security measures.</p>
<p><strong>4. Cybersecurity Risk Assessment and Incident Management</strong>: the second day focused on practical risk assessment techniques, including the use of automated tools, and strategies for managing cybersecurity incidents. Participants practiced these skills through hands-on exercises, such as a phishing simulation and a risk assessment using an automated tool.</p>
<p><strong>5. Effective Crisis Management</strong>: Through practical examples, the training illustrated how to handle crises triggered by cyberattacks, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and responsible disclosure.</p>
<p><strong>Outcomes and Impact</strong></p>
<p>The event successfully equipped SMEs with actionable insights and tools to enhance their cybersecurity posture. Participants left with a better understanding of how to protect their organizations against cyber threats, manage cybersecurity incidents, and ensure compliance with legal standards.</p>
<p>The training emphasized the importance of continuous education and proactive measures in maintaining cybersecurity. By fostering a culture of awareness and responsibility, SMEs can better navigate the complex landscape of cyber threats and vulnerabilities.</p>
<p>We are excited about the positive feedback from this first session and look forward to organizing future iterations of the course to continue supporting SMEs in their cybersecurity journey.</p>

Particular recognition goes to Michael Henessy, Dr. Brian McLafferty and Dr. Sean Moore for their excellent industry-led design approach to new programme development. </span></p><p><span>All stakeholders, that is UL, Skillnet Ireland, Limerick Chamber Skillnet and Shannon Chamber Skillnet, promoted the course and supported the recruitment of 15 fully funded students, which commenced study in January. There was significant demand for the places with over seventy applications.</span></p><p><span>The delivery of the <em>Introduction to Data Analytics</em> programme involves a blended learning approach, with online, face to face and practical workshops.  The students are over half-way through their course and we wish them the best of luck with the remaining course work.</span></p><p><span>The partners are now working together to promote further to SME’s. The next module, <em>Digitalisation of Process</em> will be offered in September 2024 </span>marking another significant step in the journey of Project EAGLE towards fostering digital empowerment among European SMEs.</p>								</div>

									<h4><strong>Spreading the word about EAGLE – our awareness campaign</strong></h4>
<p>In order to create awareness about what project EAGLE has to offer, one of the few main activities during first year focused on reaching out to SMEs and relevant stakeholders. During this time, we had several opportunities to disseminate information about EAGLE. Our consortium partners hosted quite few events and presented EAGLE at various events and gatherings organized by 3<sup>rd</sup> parties, showcasing the project&#8217;s goals and objectives to a wider audience. Among the many activities, we are highlighting the following events:</p>								</div>

									<p>While we&#8217;ve highlighted some key moments above, it&#8217;s important to acknowledge that our partners have participated in numerous other events and presentations, each significantly contributing to spreading the word about EAGLE. Due to space constraints in this newsletter, we cannot detail every event, but we deeply value and appreciate the efforts of all involved in these vital outreach activities. All these moments were crucial for spreading the word and getting others excited about what we&#8217;re doing.</p><p>In addition to the presentations, every partner made a strong commitment to network with other EU projects and initiatives. During the first year of the project, we managed to reach out to 45 other initiatives. This effort was aimed at creating collaborations and finding synergies that can enhance our work. By connecting with others, we&#8217;ve been able to learn, share knowledge, and strengthen our project through these valuable partnerships.</p>								</div>

									<h4><strong>Reflecting on our course designing journey – achievements and milestones</strong></h4><p>The path we&#8217;ve traversed together over the past year has been marked by shared goals, challenges overcome, and milestones achieved. One of the first steps in our project was hosting focus groups by partners who are designing courses. These sessions brought together industry experts and representatives from various institutions and associations and industrial entrepreneurs from different sectors of activity, creating a platform for in-depth discussions and feedback collection. This early engagement was essential for understanding the specific needs and challenges faced by SMEs in the digital landscape. The insights gathered from these focus groups laid a solid foundation for our course design work, ensuring that our educational materials would be both relevant and impactful. This proactive approach of involving key stakeholders from the outset not only enriched our course content but also aligned our objectives with the real-world demands of SMEs.</p>								</div>

This important step confirmed the quality and usefulness of our work for the EAGLE project. It also prepared us for the next important part: the pilot courses.</span></p><p>After the peer review, our course designing partners started running pilot courses. These pilots were essential to test if our courses really meet the needs of SMEs. They also allowed us to get feedback directly from the users. Incorporating this invaluable feedback received from participants was crucial to refine our courses and make them even better.</p><p>The pilots were a big success and showed the hard work and cooperation of everyone involved. After these pilots, we&#8217;re now using the feedback we got to improve our courses. This process of getting feedback directly from the SMEs and making improvements is key to making sure our courses stay top-notch and relevant.</p><p>Moving forward, our goal is to offer three editions of each course. This is part of our commitment to providing the best learning experiences and to improving digital skills in SMEs. This plan shows our careful approach to meeting the project&#8217;s objectives and enhancing digital skills within SMEs.</p>								</div>
