Digital Security Hub The last time I was in Manchester on business was for the Cyber UK exhibition back in 2018. The number of cranes I could see and the construction projects going on, plus the growing hospitality places looked amazing. I took this opportunity whilst back in the area for an event to visit […]

Cynam is the organisation that organisations many of the events, usually from their base at the Hub8 coworking spaces. […]
Been listening to this episode by Susan Lindner of the Innovation Storytellers podcast where Susie Braam shares her experiences as Head of Innovation working with the various security agencies that help protect this country.
