The project started in mid-2017. The project lasts from September 2016 to October 2018.
SIWECOS is part of the BMWI's "IT Security in Business" initiative and primarily supports small and medium-sized companies in the secure use of ICT systems . Together with IT security experts from science, business and administration, a basis is to be created to increase awareness in the digital economy with regard to IT security in medium-sized companies. Companies are to be enabled to improve their IT security through specific support measures.
