A new £9.5m hub at the heart of efforts to accelerate the size of Wales’ emerging cyber-security sector and seeing a significant rise in private equity funding to help firms scale-up, has been announced.
The Cyber Innovation Hub is being led by Cardiff University with partners including Airbus, Alacrity Cyber, CGI, Thales NDEC, Tramshed Tech, and the University of South Wales.
The hub, which will become operational by year end, will train more than 1,000 cyber-skilled individuals and grow the cyber-security sector in Wales by more than 50% (number of firms) by 2030.
