Our purpose
Developing The Industry
Cyber East is an industry body that works alongside the UK Government to develop the cyber security industry in the UK. Our aim is to partner with cyber security businesses in the East of England and provide a platform for collaboration and growth within the Cyber Security industry. Alongside this we will focus on providing support to local businesses who need to increase their cyber security knowledge and need support & signposting. In order to share knowledge, skills, and capabilities across the region we will also build a network of partnerships with a range of organisations working across academia, research, training and innovation in the Cyber industry. As an integral part of the UK’s cyber ecosystem, our mission is to help businesses become more resilient against cybercrime and attract inward investment in the East Anglia area.
— Expanding Our Reach
We work hard to develop a networking platform that enables and encourages innovation and collaboration between our members. Initially working with businesses across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire to share ideas and cyber security best practice across our network we are keen to expand our membership across Essex, Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire. We want to help businesses in the area thrive and grow in a secure and safe way, and our services are designed to encourage collaborations and partnership opportunities amongst our members.
— Collaboration
As part of the UK wide cyber cluster network under UKC3 (www.ukc3.co.uk) we will facilitate collaboration with other regions, as well as acting as a regional voice for all cyber organisations in the East of England. We will keep our members up to date with the latest news in cybercrime, and help tackle cyber issues together. Our team is committed to helping local businesses showcase their innovations and highlight their specialisms in a way that will benefit not just East Anglia, but the wider UK.
