Summary
CyLon, the world’s leading cyber security accelerator, today launched its seventh London programme – Cohort 7 – thanks to a new strategic partnership with Nominet, the profit with a purpose company responsible for the .UK internet infrastructure. With more than 20 years’ experience running the .UK domain, relied upon by millions of people every day, Nominet plays a key role across the digital economy, supporting individuals, business, education and government, tackling cyber threats at the network level.
