SWCRC Cyber Resilience Community

Supported by the Home Office, Policing and Ambassador partners

With ever-increasing cyber threats facing us all, MYREDFORT and the South West Regional Cyber Security Resilience Centre (SWCRC) have joined forces to help strengthen the reach of cyber resilience across the business community.

SWCRC is one of a national network of cyber resilience centres, all of which are funded by the Home office as part of a partnership between policing, the private sector, and academia.” 


A coalition of police, government, large employers and academia, they support smaller organisations in their region and across England and Wales to make their businesses safer, more secure, and more resilient. Additionally, they're building a national talent pipeline of students to equip the next generation who will tackle cybercrime with the essential skills, knowledge, and on-the-job training they need.

In this section of MYREDFORT, you’ll find the guidance and support to implement stronger cyber resilience, brought to you by police-led teams and free of charge.

You don’t have to be in the South West. The insight and advice SWCRC bring you is relevant wherever you are. And SWCRC have editorial control over everything you see, in plain English and with no selling. Because, according to SWCRC ‘Making you safer is what we’re here for’.
