Partners of the Cyber Resilience Centre
We are currently working with a small number of regional partners to support the critical work it does to help protect the business community from the threat of Cybercrime.
The contribution from regional partners helps the centre to employ people, manage running costs and highlight the support network that is available to businesses who have suffered an attack or need cyber support services.
​
Regional partners of the Cyber Resilience Centre are part of the NWCRC guidance council, providing their expertise and knowledge to help direct and support our work.
