#CyberWeekly

This week marks the beginning of Easy Cyber Protection. We built a platform to help Belgian SMEs get their cybersecurity in order — without needing an IT department or expensive consultants.

What you get:

• Explorer-style interface — navigate your security tasks intuitively
• One percentage score — see exactly where you stand
• Clear next steps — know what to improve and when

Our first version focuses on the basics: tracking entities (people, devices, software) and assigning security tasks. Built on an event-sourced architecture, every change is tracked — perfect for demonstrating compliance to auditors.

Big news from the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB): they just released CyFun 2025, a major update to the CyberFundamentals framework.

What changed?

• Aligns with NIST CSF 2.0 — international best practices
• Governance added — now 6 functions instead of 5
• Supply chain security — doubled down on vendor risk
• Incident management — number of controls doubled
• OT guidance — new for operational technology environments

For SMEs, the "Small" level remains accessible — just 7 essential controls to get you started. Learn more about the different certification levels.

70.5% of data breaches in 2025 targeted small and medium businesses. Not large enterprises — SMBs.

Why the shift?

• Large companies invested heavily in cybersecurity and stopped paying ransoms
• Hackers adapted — going after smaller targets with weaker defenses
• Volume over value — many small payouts beat one big score

This is exactly why we built Easy Cyber Protection. You don't need enterprise-level security budgets — you need the fundamentals done right. And with NIS2 requirements coming into effect, now is the time to act.
