Acer Chairman and CEO Jason Chen recently attended the 3rd APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) meeting of the year, which was held in the Philippines from July 27-30. During the meeting, Acer subsidiary Acer Cyber Security Inc. (ACSI) shared its cybersecurity self-assessment toolkit designed for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in APEC member economies to help them quickly identify potential cyber threats.

“MSMEs are cornerstones of the development and stability of economies and have demonstrated resilience while the urgency of digital transformation has skyrocketed during the pandemic,” Chen said.  “While the Acer Group is helping build strong, secure, and reliable smart cities, we hope to help MSMEs in each economy to enhance their ESG efforts through ACSI’s cybersecurity self-assessment toolkit.”

ACSI is a cybersecurity company under the Acer group that focuses on related technical services and consultancy and provides a full range of prevention, monitoring, and response services through its Security Operation Center (SOC) to enhance the resilience of enterprise operations.

ACSI is experienced in he and has developed the self-assessment toolkit based on years of experience. Being experienced in helping enterprises enhance their cybersecurity defense, ACSI’s toolkit can assess and detect errors in configurations, weak account credentials, major security updates, suspicious behavior indicating intrusion, and malicious software.

As MSMEs usually have limited resources, the self-assessment toolkit can easily generate a report to help companies understand their cyber security risks, and then seek help from reliable local vendors or take corrective action through detailed instructions provided in the report.
