Regional Ecosystem

We are working to build a cyber security ecosystem across the region and gather details of individuals and companies that are either working in or who have expressed an interest in this space.

Regular updates on events and meetings are sent to this group. If you are interested in hearing more, or being involved, please contact info@dynamonortheast.co.uk

 

The diagram above is to help the regional discussions around cyber security.  It aims to identify classes of organisations.  The blue boxes represent organisations which the cyber work stream should engage with.

  • Can you see where you’d fit in the picture?
  • Can you think of an organisation involved in cyber that isn’t represented in the diagram?
  • Or a class (peg) that’s missing?

#CyberFest

#CyberFest, the North East’s largest cyber security festival has now been running for two years and plans are underway for 2020. With events across the region throughout September, the aim of #CyberFest is to raise awareness of cyber security activities across the region as part of our mission ‘To Make the North East the place for cyber security.’
