About the workshop

This Cyber Resilience workshop aims to cover three simple concepts: Defend. Innovate. Grow.

We encourage a secure by design philosophy, and we work with businesses to explore how to weave cyber security practices into their organisations to help them defend, innovate and grow their business.

We are changing the narrative around Cyber Security by asking:"How can we embed these core concepts into your business model and strategy?”

Our mission is to empower businesses to embrace digital and cyber innovation, driving tangible improvements in products, processes, services through innovative business strategies.

Implementing cyber resilience can help businesses to strengthen their defences and secure their operations against potential threats and grow their business with confidence.

This workshop is fully funded by the UK Government. Cyber Foundry opportunities are designed and delivered by Lancaster University.

Cyber Resilience Workshop Dates:

Thursday 14th November - Penrith, Cumbria

Tuesday 3rd December - Manchester

Tuesday 28th January - Lancaster University
