As a co-chair of Cyber Readiness Institute, Apple will share best practices and experiences that inform the development of free cybersecurity tools and resources for SMBs(small and medium-size businesses). CRI also says the Cupertino company will support content development and collaborate with programs that support small and medium-sized businesses in Apple’s global supply chain.
“We are very excited to welcome Apple as a Co-Chair of the Cyber Readiness Institute,” said Christopher G. Caine, President of the Center for Global Enterprise, a co-founding member of CRI. “Apple’s commitment to raising the bar for cybersecurity across businesses of all sizes, as well as its global reach, will help CRI advance its content and scale its mission. We look forward to collaborating with Apple on developing innovative programs to improve the security of global supply chains by focusing on practical steps SMBs can take to be more cyber ready.”
