Key aims and
objectives
Every threat is an opportunity. Cyber security is a global threat and an enormous opportunity. It’s a $5 trillion annual spend opportunity and we are well placed to take advantage. We want a piece of that action.
CyberNorth is the cyber security cluster for the North East. We are working to grow the industry across the region to position it as a great place to do cyber security business. We are working to grow jobs – highly skilled, well paid and interesting jobs.
We’re doing this in four ways:
- Make a lot of noise to raise awareness and build belief. We do this through events culminating in #CyberFest in September, the North East’s biggest cyber festival (read more)
- Develop a mechanism to help existing business to grow in a collaborative yet competitive framework, like an online retail park (read more)
- Create new businesses by developing a cyber innovation centre across the region along the lines of LORCA (read more)
- Support young people into careers within the cybersecurity sector

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.
#CyberFest
#CyberFest, the North East’s largest cyber security festival has now been running for three years. 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.’
