CYBER RESILIENCE SERVICES
CYBER PATH
The WCRC’s suite of cyber security services is known as Cyber PATH and offers an integrated range of affordable and accessible support designed to help businesses and organisations assess, build and manage online networks. It also assists with getting the right strategies in place to respond to incidents efficiently and mitigate any potential damage a cyberattack may create.
​
All Cyber PATH services are delivered by an elite talent pipeline consisting of the next generation of specialists in cyber resilience. It has been developed by the National Cyber Resilience Centre Group (NCRCG) in partnership with the cyber resilience centre (CRC) network and is open to all Welsh students in higher education.
​
It provides them with the opportunity to work alongside senior security practitioners to deliver affordable and high-quality cyber security services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) including charities and other third sector organisations.

​The WCRC’s skilled Cyber PATH team will work with yours to help build cyber awareness, understanding of the latest cyber threats and secure your online environment.

CORPORATE INTERNET DISCOVERY
This service may be used to learn what is being said on the internet about an organisation, what information employees are releasing or if there are any damaging news stories, social media posts or associations.
