Feedback from past attendees
- 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.

โThe Cyber Innovation Hubโs Applied Foundations of OT Cybersecurity was a package that developed our understanding of OT and security control requirements. Well-paced and delivered, it gave us hands-on experience which consolidated learning. Iโm looking forward to future packages to build upon this foundation.โ
