Secure AI Adoption for SMEs: Cybersecurity and the EU AI Act
CyberSuite Academy
Free, about 15 hours, intermediate, free certificate. Last verified 3 Oct 2026.
Our take
Useful for SME owners and managers who need to work out where AI is used in the business and how the AI Act applies. Following a fictional SME through risk classification, governance, security and compliance evidence makes it practical, and it's free with a certificate at about 15 hours. The caveats: it's an EU-funded project course that may not outlast its funding, and we haven't confirmed it reflects recent AI Act changes. An Irish alternative is AI for Business Success from Cork Chamber Skillnet.
