In a training session for the Small Business Cybersecurity Resilience in Maryland (SCRIM) Program participants, Braxton-Grant Technologies shared a variety of tips and information to help businesses improve their cybersecurity posture. We were enlisted by the Maryland Small Business Development Center (SDBC) to provide cyber training to participants and applicants of the Maryland Department SCRIM Program. As part of Braxton-Grant’s ongoing mission to educate and promote cybersecurity awareness and safe practices, we are sharing these helpful resources on our website for use by anyone interested in improving their cybersecurity posture.

In addition to the helpful cybersecurity resource links and documents, a video of the basic cybersecurity training session we conducted for SCRIM participants is available to anyone for use and could be incorporated into your company’s cybersecurity training and awareness program.
