About

A key objective for CYSIAM is to make the language of cyber more accessible to leaders in our society, helping to ensure the safety, security and resilience of the UK and our overseas allies.

Our focus is on delivering the benefits, and managing the risks, inherent in the use of modern digitally connected technologies.

We contribute to national security and economic prosperity by enabling sustainable resilience against credible threats, both malicious and accidental, at all levels of society.

Leaders should be able to focus on their critical operations safe in the knowledge that their systems are as secure as possible from the pervasive cyber risk.

We aim to provide organisations with the means to develop robust and scalable cyber resilience capability, and the confidence they need to deliver their objectives.
