A strong cyber security sector is essential for security and prosperity in the modern digital economy. The government is helping to support growth and innovation in the cyber security sector by addressing known issues firms face, such as commercial and entrepreneurial skills, access to the funding and wider barriers to growth and commercialisation.
As part of this work the government is delivering the Cyber Runway programme to support firms at various stages of growth. The programme is funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and is delivered by Plexal, with support from Deloitte and the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT). This research evaluates the success of the programme since 2021/2022.
This research is part of the government’s wider work to grow the UK cyber security sector, develop the UK cyber ecosystem and increase cyber resilience across the UK economy.
