Ohio State's Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME) curated the "Ohio Cybersecurity for Small Businesses Pilot," led by director Vimal Buck, to develop and deliver cybersecurity training to small businesses across the state of Ohio. The SBA grant will support CDME in designing online courses that will guide small Ohio businesses through identifying and mitigating cybersecurity threats. The grant will also aid CDME in providing and expanding upon complementary outreach services to small businesses. 

The pilot program's free courses will be available through the Ohio Cyber Range Institute's website.
