This team, made up of Dr Sarma and Mr Sardar, is aiming to improve awareness and access to cyber security. They want to create cyber security awareness through partnerships with universities, offering diploma programmes to those who don’t traditionally learn about the topic.

Aimed primarily at non-IT students Cystel wants to ensure cyber security readiness through the offering of cyber security leadership programmes. This will also be offered to CEOs and board members in companies with a dream of becoming the go to place for this training.

The Ignite Experience

When talking to Dr Sarma about the Ignite Pre-Accelerator she highlights that the hands on mentoring was invaluable:

“The mentoring in particular not only helped get ideas on how to progress but re-shaped our direction and offering, we would never have offered corporate training, without the help of Ignite”
