South West Cyber Security Cluster
Founded in 2015, we are pioneering a collaborative model with the police whereby information security experts of all types help raise awareness and knowledge of how to prevent cyber crime, and to offer a 1st port of call to the cybersec unaware of what to do in the event of a cyber security breach.
We encoorage all businesses in the SW to join this group and discuss their need for help and assistance in this important business resilience agenda. Few of us can afford the cost of recovery from a breach, its best we all help one another to learn how to avoid the problems in the 1st place.
