UK Govt Launches Security Support Scheme for Small Businesses

The UK government has unveiled a new initiative to help up to 500 small and medium-sized enterprises protect their intellectual property from growing security threats, including cyberattacks and espionage by hostile state actors. Backed by £2,500 in government funding per company, the Secure Innovation Security Reviews will offer expert-led assessments and tailored advice to firms in high-risk sectors such as AI, life sciences, and renewable energy. Delivered through Innovate UK and supported by the National Cyber Security Centre and National Protective Security Authority, the scheme aims to boost resilience, investor confidence, and long-term growth.
