A cyber community to connect, learn and explore cyber and technology.
About our cluster
The group creates a valuable and action-based network focussed on growth and innovation in the cyber sector, and at the same time supporting SMEs from all sectors across the Swindon and Wiltshire region. Our Cluster events support national and international initiatives as well as provide opportunities.
The Cluster encourages collaboration, identifies partnership opportunities, and provides networking to share ideas and best practices. This provides specialist cyber businesses with opportunities to find new ways to thrive and drive innovation, while giving the business community the opportunity to learn more about cyber security from our specialist members.
Supporting Members
The Cluster supports both the UK Government’s National Cyber Strategy spearheaded through UKC3 and Swindon & Wiltshire’s Local Industrial Strategy by building cyber security knowledge, skills, infrastructure, and capabilities to make local SMEs more resilient to cyber-attacks through minimising risks and raising educational awareness.
The Cluster participates in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology Cyber Security Forum. Internationally, it engages with the Department for Business and Trade and Global EPIC.
Our mission is to propel the ecosystem for our local industries whilst dealing with society’s cyber challenges.
