About us
Cyber resilience takes more than technology. Itโs about people, culture, and confidence. We make risks real through immersive testbeds, give leaders the evidence they need to act, and build lasting capability through training and ventures. Together, we prepare organisations to protect what matters most.
Why Us
Our Goal
To transform South Wales into a leading cyber security cluster by 2030, with more companies, more skilled people, and more solutions that protect what matters.
Our Vision
As a not-for-profit working for UK PLC, we exist to keep the nation safe and secure. We equip people, organisations, and sectors with the confidence, skills, and solutions they need to build cyber resilience from within.
Our Mission
We do this by making risks real through immersive testbeds, building capability through practical training, and backing bold ideas that create trusted new defences.
Our Mission
Immersive Insight
We believe people act when they see whatโs at stake. Our safe, immersive testbeds bring cyber threats and consequences into clear view for leadership and teams. By making incidents tangible, we help organisations build the case for resilience and create a shared understanding of whatโs needed to stay secure.
Our Testbed Vision
Thatโs why weโve developed 14 portable, self-contained environments that cover every area of critical national infrastructure. These testbeds allow teams to safely explore vulnerabilities, rehearse red- and blue-team tactics, and gain hands-on experience with real ICS hardware. and networks. From upskilling the UK workforce to advancing research into AI for OT security, our testbeds turn complex risks into practical learning and future-ready resilience.
Practical Capability
From bite-size training to accredited courses, we give people at every level the tools to act. Whether itโs cyber hygiene for frontline teams or strategic decision-making for leadership, our courses close the gaps revealed in testbeds and strengthen resilience from the inside out.
Our Training Vision
The purpose of our training is simple: to build technical competence. When people gain the skills to make decisions confidently, organisations benefit from greater engagement, motivation, and initiative. That capability fuels stronger morale, higher productivity, and a culture where resilience runs throughout the business.
Innovation with Purpose
Some challenges need new answers. Thatโs why we run a Venture Building Programme, supporting innovators and domain experts to develop solutions linked directly to the toughest challenges industry faces. With mentoring, funding, and networks, we help turn bold ideas into businesses that protect what matters.
- Training Courses
Working with Cyber Innovation Hub to deliver our Business Continuity and Cyber Threat Simulation Day was outstanding. Their facilitation encouraged โฏengagement from the team and created a safe space for honest reflection and learning. The scenarios tested our thinking and exposed areas for improvement, which led to tangible outcomes in refining our continuity plans and strengthening our overall resilience. Highly recommended for any organisations looking to test and or improve their Cyber security responses.
- Training Courses
โParticipating in the OT102: Foundations of OT Cybersecurity course, delivered by Cyber Innovation Hub, strengthened our understanding of OT risks and practices. The programme was relevant and expertly delivered, equipping staff with knowledge to safeguard infrastructure. We recommend this course to organisations seeking greater resilience.”
- Testbeds
โAs Chief Security Officer of National Highways, I am aware of evolving cyber threats. We collaborated with Cyber Innovation Hub, using immersive testbed facilities to simulate attacks in a controlled setting. This hands-on approach enhanced our understanding of threat management and fostered collaboration and learning across our organisation.โ
