At Nexus, University of Leeds, our Cyber Escape experience helped raise awareness of cyber security.
Leeds-based Business Graduates led the training, helping raise awareness of cyber security while gaining valuable hands-on experience.
Ariana Aghdasi-Sisan, Business Graduate, said:
“The Cyber Escape Room also reinforced the importance of online safety in a way that felt practical and memorable. Most of us were familiar with the basics, such as keeping passwords private, but the code-cracking activities encouraged me to think more carefully about the everyday habits that can help protect both personal and valuable data."
We hosted a dedicated networking session, bringing together SMEs, public sector organisations and industry partners committed to strengthening the regional business ecosystem.
