In a bold move to bolster the digital defense of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), Acer CEO and Chairman, Jason Chen, took the stage at the recent APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) meeting in the Philippines.

The event, held from July 27-30, witnessed the unveiling of a groundbreaking cybersecurity self-assessment toolkit by Acer’s subsidiary, Acer Cyber Security Inc. (ACSI), aimed at arming MSMEs across APEC member nations with the tools to swiftly identify potential cyber hazards.

Chen expressed his belief in the resilience of MSMEs as pivotal drivers of economic development and stability, particularly amid the surging demand for digital transformation amidst the ongoing pandemic.

“As the Acer Group contributes to the creation of robust, secure, and dependable smart cities, our commitment extends to empowering MSMEs in every economy through ACSI’s cutting-edge cybersecurity self-assessment toolkit” Chen remarked.

ACSI, a leading name in the realm of cybersecurity, specializes in a spectrum of technical services and consultancy. The company operates a Security Operation Center (SOC) that offers a comprehensive suite of prevention, monitoring, and response services, bolstering the resilience of enterprise operations against cyber threats.

Drawing from its extensive expertise in fortifying enterprise cybersecurity, ACSI has meticulously crafted this self-assessment toolkit, leveraging years of practical experience. The toolkit possesses the capability to scrutinize and pinpoint configuration errors, vulnerable account credentials, crucial security updates, signs of suspicious activities indicating unauthorized intrusion, and the presence of malicious software.

Tailored to cater to the resource constraints often faced by MSMEs, this toolkit facilitates the generation of comprehensive reports that illuminate the cybersecurity risks faced by businesses. These reports, in turn, guide companies towards soliciting assistance from trustworthy local vendors or undertaking corrective actions based on the insightful instructions delineated in the report.
