The Vision

Imagine an event where the complex world of cybersecurity becomes a thrilling adventure. Students don’t just learn about technology, they live it: solving mysteries, cracking codes, and building the web. We demystify cyber, showcase its creative potential, and inspire the next generation of digital defenders, creators, and innovators.

Why does cybersecurity matter?

Our lives run on data... friendships, finance, and healthcare. This reliance creates a global battlefield where every organisation is a target. Students need skills to navigate and protect this world: because the future is written in code, and it needs protecting.

  • 44% of UK organisations report lacking basic cyber skills among staff.
  • In 2024, 75% of large UK companies (250+ employees) reported a cyber breach or attack.
  • The UK cybersecurity market is projected to reach £34.3bn by 2030.
