About the Partnership

In June 2026, SMB Cybersecurity Advisors LLC and the Association of Cybersecurity Specialists (ACSP) signed a Memorandum of Cooperation — a formal framework for mutually beneficial, non-commercial collaboration in cybersecurity.

The partnership connects two professional communities. On one side, Ukrainian cybersecurity expertise, refined in one of the world's most intensively targeted cyber environments. On the other, the U.S. small business sector, which faces the same attack methodologies but rarely has access to expertise of that depth.

An independent partnership. SMB Cybersecurity Advisors LLC is an independent U.S. company and a partner of ACSP. It is not a branch, subsidiary, or representative office of the Association.

The Memorandum sets out six areas of joint work.
