James Stanley, head of sectoral engagement, DCMS, says, “One of the UK cyber sector’s greatest strengths is its start-ups and SMEs, who are constantly developing new ideas, products and services to make our digital lives safer.

“That is why DCMS is once again proud to sponsor the Cyber Innovation Zone at Infosecurity Europe, which is a brilliant showcase for some of our best companies. The judges were impressed by the innovation and variety of the finalists, who cover everything from protecting the internet of things to artificial intelligence and security training.”
