CyberWyoming Launches Made Safe Alumni Club
CyberWyoming has announced the launch of the Made Safe Alumni Club, a new initiative designed to
provide ongoing support for companies that have completed the Made Safe Cybersecurity Training
Program or participated in the Cybersecurity Competition for Small Businesses.
The Alumni Club offers continued guidance and community for these microbusinesses, where cybersecurity responsibilities often fall on employees wearing many hats.
Supporting Microbusinesses
CyberWyoming defines microbusinesses as less than 10 computers, no servers, and most applications in the cloud. According to the SBA State Profiles, the United States has over 29 million businesses without
employees, meaning that they operate as sole proprietors or independent contractors. These businesses
make up about 80% of all small businesses nationwide, and in Wyoming and the rural West, that
percentage rises into the nineties.
“We often work with small businesses of 5 or less people that are too small to contract with managed
service providers to manage their digital world, but we want them to have the chance to grow to need
additional services and fully understand what to ask for in an IT partner,” said Laura Baker, CyberWyoming Executive Director.
Continued Support and Benefits for Alumni
Through the Alumni Club, members will receive an annual one-on-one cybersecurity maintenance session with a CyberWyoming Cybersecurity Business Counselor, along with an updated Cyber Score to measure and highlight their progress. Alumni also gain exclusive access to new internal training programs and refreshed versions of prior modules.
The program includes quarterly Alumni Meetings, where members can stay informed about the latest
cybersecurity issues affecting microbusinesses. In addition, alumni are offered one free personalized
session with a Cybersecurity Business Counselor to assist with product-specific research or adjusting
security settings.
“Graduating from the Made Safe program is just the beginning,” said Baker. “The Alumni Club ensures that companies continue to strengthen their cybersecurity practices, stay connected to their peers, and
maintain the confidence they built during the program.”
The Made Safe Alumni Club welcomes all businesses that have completed the Made Safe program or
participated in the Cybersecurity Competition for Small Businesses, offering ongoing support to strengthen their cybersecurity and grow with confidence!
